Of course we're not partial to it, Bill, we're Baptists! But I have to agree. I think a number of the creeds are fine. We just don't recite them as part of our worship.

And I agree that reciting a creed would be a distraction, at least during the LORD's Supper. Seems to me it makes more sense to recite the creed prior to the LORD's Supper.

"I want to assist churches and to assist pastors in training pastors. But, after fourteen years of service in this capacity, I am absolutely certain that the finest theological seminary on earth is absolutely incompetent at replicating the actual life of a Gospel congregation. I want to train a generation of pastors who will train pastors, and I want to help them in that task." --- Dr. R. Albert Mohler, President of THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
