Holy Trinity,
powerfully described in ancient creeds,
guard our understanding of the faith,
that we may confess it with authority
in unity with the Church throughout the ages
and in allegiance to you. Amen.
Faithful God,
giver of truth in the language of our days,
commit your ministers to the study of the creeds
and the discipline of interpreting them anew for our time
that we may worship you in union with Christians across many days
and declare the Catholic Faith with fidelity and confidence
in loyalty to you as Holy Trinity. Amen.
Paragraph 9
The Uniting Church enters into unity with the Church throughout the ages by its use of the confessions known as the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed. The Uniting Church receives these as authoritative statements of the Catholic Faith, framed in the language of their day and used by Christians in many days, to declare and to guard the right understanding of that faith. The Uniting Church commits its ministers and instructors to careful study of these creeds and to the discipline of interpreting their teaching in a later age. It commends to ministers and congregations their use for instruction in the faith, and their use in worship as acts of allegiance to the Holy Trinity.
Thank you, Anita - your reflection was beautiful. This is something I wrote some time ago: Vision of Holiness
I was sitting on my balcony
And the night was kind and cool
All of the sudden
I saw God the Holy Spirit
Circling the Moon
Holy, holy, holy
I looked around
Saw the stars shining
Holy, holy, holy
I saw the trees
Surrounding my place like guardians
Holy, holy, holy
All of the sudden I saw it all
Blessed Trinity
Full of Hope for tomorrow
Holy, holy, holy
All around me
And I was overwhelmed by the presence
Of GOD
