Video: The Nicene Creed

These ancient words, first written 1,700 years ago in a time of division and uncertainty, continue to speak with power today. For those experiencing poverty, the words of The Nicene Creed aren’t cold theology, they are a promise of a better future. Set against the backdrop of our streets and tower blocks, this filmed version of the Creed reminds us that these ancient words cross culture, time, and postcode. Take a moment to listen.

The film is available to download for use in your church here, or alternatively, head to our socials or YouTube page to watch and share on your mobile device.

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;
was incarnate from the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
Who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified.
Who is spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
