It is not the creeds themselves that are important, but the thoughts, the doctrines behind the creeds which are important. While Zion UCC may not use the Creeds in worship, we do proclaim a solidly Trinitarian faith through our liturgy as a whole, despite the private doubts of some members. That is enough for me.

Also- I don't actually like bishops, and it doesn't seem like Episcopal governance makes TEC more peaceful or unified then the UCC- rather less so, if the truth be known. Only in the UCC have I known productive dialogue between 'liberals' and 'conservatives'.
