In the early church, the Apostles’ Creed was used as a catechism for those who were baptized. Thus, its language was central to Christian imagination. Throughout Lent, our Animating Images sermon series intends to recapture ancient Christian imagination by engaging the Apostles’ Creed. However, rather than using the creed to explicate faith, this series will invite us to ponder creedal statements as icons that animate our lives by Divine Love.
