"We Believe" and the Need for an Ancient Faith
In an age where ideas and information come and go at the speed of light, there is a deep need for timeless truths that transcend our present moment. In the Nicene Creed we find a summary of “the faith once for all delivered to the saints” and step into a tradition that unites us with Christians across time, geography and the various branches of Christianity. As we anchor ourselves in this ancient statement of faith this year, may God help us see who He is clearly in more of His mystery, beauty, and love.

Reflection Questions
1) Are you experiencing the ephemeral, quickly evaporating nature of ideas and information today? How does an ancient religious faith provide an antidote? 2) What has your relationship to the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed been like? How have you viewed them? 3) Why are summaries of the basics of the Christian faith important for us? What is uniquely important about the Nicene Creed as one of these? 4) Discuss the authority of the creed relative to the authority of Jesus and the Bible. 5) Do you see evidence of people experimenting with "remixed religion" in your friendships? 6) Why is it important that we build our theology in community with others? How does the creed play a part in this?
