It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Preparing for Trinity Sunday: The Athanasian Creed

Traditionally, I am told, the Christian church recites the Athanasian Creed during Trinity Sunday worship. However, the UMBOW does not include this creed. So, here's a link from the ECLA:

The UM New Handbook of the Christian Year (copyright 1992, so not so new now) suggests leaving out the anathemas; that is, the "perish eternally" clause and the last sentence. I agree.
