Statement of Faith


The Order of Contemporary Benedictines adheres to the historic creeds of the church:
the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, and the Apostles' Creed.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.

* The word 'catholic' does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church, rather the 
universal church of our Lord Jesus Christ.
