ECUMENICAL SPACES ECUMENICAL VISIONS: NICENE CREED

(INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE VERSION)

Credo in unum deum......

We believe in one God,
the Creator, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Creator,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Creator
Through all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and became one in Being with us.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Creator.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and Christ's kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Creator and the Son.
With the Creator and the Son they are worshiped and glorified.
They have spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

Amen.
