The Ancient Creeds
Anglicans, like many other Christians, formally profess their faith in the words of the historic Christian creeds, which were formulated in the early centuries of the Christian Church. (The word ‘creed’ comes from the Latin ‘credo’ = ‘I believe’).
The Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed are used very regularly in Anglican worship, the Athanasian Creed is used in worship less often, but is considered to set out the classic understanding of key Christian doctrines about the nature of God and the person of Jesus Christ.

Scripture
The Bible is acknowledged as the ‘ground’ on which any expression of Christian faith must be founded.
Our Parish Crest reminds us that our lives are a pilgrimage with God
Pilgrim Hat – protecting us from sun and heat. God provides for us on our journey.
Pilgrim Staff – the walking stick that we lean on – Jesus who shoulders the yoke with us; the Body of Christ, our companions on the journey whom we lean on too.
Pilgrim Shell – badge worn by pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago de Compostalla; sign of commitment to our journey; recognised by those who offer hospitality along the way.
Cross – we take up our crosses and walk the way of vulnerable rejoicing pilgrims with Jesus.
