Next to Scripture, the statement of faith most often used to communicate the essence of Christianity is the Apostles' Creed. For the Early Church it provided a touchstone to guide both evangelism and discipleship in a vast work of diverse cultures and beliefs.In today's world of competing ideas and values--with brand-new believers across the globe and in our communities who have little or no Christian background, when even mature Christians don't always know what beliefs really matter--we ignore this time-honored expression of faith at our own risk.
