Why have a creed? Isn't that "oppressive"? What is the purpose of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan symbol of faith? Tim Kelleher, producer of a recent documentary on the Nicene Creed, discusses his thoughts here: http://easternchristianbooks.blogspot.com/2012/05/tim-kelleher-on-niceno.html

LOL - gotta love The Lutheran Satire! (first brought to my attention by a German friend who is, of course, Lutheran, but married a good Catholic girl from Spain!)

Up to this point this is the best discussion I've seen here in a very long time. Good for you.

In my case, oddly enough, I learned about it from an Orthodox. (Can't remember who exactly.)
