[Oe List ...] Updated Creed

[JB Webster]

I've been thinking about this for many years since since the longer version
appeared on the cover of the 2003-2004 issue of “The Directory.” So here is
my shortened and adapted version of the Apostle's Creed based on the
language of RS-1. I'm still not quite sure about calling the intruding
Event “It.”


I trust in the final Mystery of all things, the giver and taker of life,
and in the intruding Event that reminds me of my unconditional acceptance
which is given in the midst of life's freedom and seizes me in the struggle
of daily living. It shatters all illusions and thus I experience death. It
gives me a vision of reality and thus I experience rebirth. It judges my
authenticity and thus is a measure of my relationship to profound human
community. I trust in the gift of radical freedom and the history-long and
worldwide presence of pioneers in the civilizing adventure and in the
eternal presence of the final mystery. Amen


(If anyone has lost the longer version in their archives and need it for
reference, I'll type it up and post it.) – John Webster
