Creeds - beliefs
Anglicans share the one common Christian faith that has been handed
down through the centuries from the days of the first Christians.
This is what we mean when we say that Anglicans are part of the
"one , holy, catholic and apostolic Church". ("catholic" means:
everywhere, always and for all)
We believe there is one God who created all the cosmos, who forgives
sin, who has defeated death and who sends the Holy Spirit to renew
us as the children of God. We seek to follow Jesus as Saviour and
Lord.
Our mission as the people of God (the Church)
is to enable all people to have the opportunity to share in God's healing, God's love
and God's forgiveness and new life given to us
in Jesus.
We celebrate our faith in the three great catholic creeds:
the Apostle's
Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed.
The Nicene Creed (dating from 325AD) is the Creed we use in Sunday
Eucharist.
