Saying the Creed Without “and the Son”
Each Sunday during the season of Easter (at least when we don’t have a baptism!, we join our voices with Christians across centuries and continents in confessing the Nicene Creed. This ancient summary of faith, from 1700 years ago this year, grounds us in the core beliefs passed down from the early Church: the Triune God, the incarnation of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. But if you’ve listened closely, you may have noticed a small but important difference in the version of the Creed we use in worship. We now say that the Holy Spirit “proceeds from the Father,” rather than “from the Father and the Son.”
