Are these changes supposed to make the Creed more readily understandable for the English speaking world? I think the bishops who have worked on these changes have had a lot of extra time on their hands. Whose brainchild was this? Were any lay people consulted on this? When these changes are implemented, everyone will have to return to reading the Creed rather than knowing by heart. And the Creed is the only text I've looked at! I don't think the "people in the pews" are going to be thrilled when the time comes for implementing these changes. Someone (guess who!) is going to have to do a mighty good job of explaining what the rationale is for these changes and why it is a good idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-42240764972900003552008-08-23T18:01:00.000-04:002008-08-23T18:01:00.000-04:00This sounds very similar to Billy Joel's 'We Didn'...This sounds very similar to Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start the Fire'- I can't help wondering if they got their "inspiration" from his song... ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-67875533101920089212008-08-23T16:13:00.000-04:002008-08-23T16:13:00.000-04:00A couple years ago, in a homily on the Creed, I sa...A couple years ago, in a homily on the Creed, I sang the Creed in Gregorian chant and then did a rap version. My point was that the Creed survives every culture and expression and remains the Creed we profess. (I'm working on accepting that the new translation of the Creed -see sidebar for link- will be an expression I/we will adapt to!)<BR/><BR/>I subsequently did the same comparison for 4 sessions of our Generations of Faith program but it was never taped or recorded so I don't have it to offer here.Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-77429683375247503702008-08-23T12:22:00.000-04:002008-08-23T12:22:00.000-04:00Musical rap version of the Creed?
