I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth. I believe in
Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord. He
was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin, Mary. He suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried. He descended into death.
On the third day he rose again, He ascended
into heaven. He is seated at the right hand
of the Father and He will come again to judge
the living and the dead. I believe in the
Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church,
the community of believers, the forgiveness
of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Apostles Creed
