Exploring and Celebrating the Nicene Creed
To all clergy and parish leaders throughout the Diocese of Ballarat
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This year is the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, which is an important part of our liturgy for a number of our services, in particular for the Eucharist. We encourage you to mark this year by devoting some time to focussing on the creed, both personally and as a congregation.
- 2025 MDC WE BELIEVE(<< Download) is a booklet produced within the diocese, which sets the creed into its historical and spiritual context. You may wish to encourage all church members to read it, and perhaps use it as the basis for discussion groups. Further copies are available from the diocesan office.
