My friend, Ted Gossard has an excellent blog. Today, he has published a wonderful post from the perspective of an Anabaptist who loves creeds. Ted writes:

I was raised in an Anabaptist low church tradition which knew nothing of the great creeds of the Church. My own early understanding on that was that it was religious, Catholic, and simply empty ritualistic recitation. Although mostly I just was unfamiliar with all of that.
It is wonderful to stand together, and say, “"I believe…”" Or my own preference: "We believe…" This great tradition is reflected in some degree and form in some of the great hymns we sing. Especially good to find such during this Advent season in which we remember the coming of our great King and Savior Jesus. God's gift in him to us and to the world. Meant to be celebrated in poetry and song.
