Trinity Sunday

Isaiah 6:1-8

Psalm 29

Romans 8:12-17

John 3:1-17

Today, question of the Nicene Creed, its use and revision is only slightly less charged than it was 1600 years ago. That we continue to profess our faith in the Trinity with the Nicene Creed is for some is an unassailable article of truth which binds us to Christians across time and tradition, and for others, it is partial, patriarchal, and uninspiring. Following the scholarship of Geoffrey Wainwright, let’s lightly survey the rich liturgical and sacramental tradition which precedes the doctrine expressed in the Nicene Creed and consider its import for the issues of our own day.
