The Virtue of Going Creedless -- A Theolog Post

I wanted to give a pointer to my posting at the Christian Century's Theolog blog -- hosted by Jason Byassee.
This one is entitled: "The Virtue of Going Creedless" -- it's a defense of our Disciples Creedless heritage and asks the question of how we confess faith in pluralistic world. Here is but a taste:
My denominational family prides itself on going “creedless.” We once proudly chanted to the world: “No Creed but Christ; No book but the Bible.” Casting off all the encrustations of tradition, founder Thomas Campbell declared his independence of divisive creeds and joined John Locke hoping to unite a divided church by embracing a simple Christianity. He chose Peter’s confession of faith: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” Since it was good enough for Jesus, we believe, surely it’s good enough for us today.
You can find the post here.
By the way, Theolog is worth keeping an eye out for. New posts are placed on the blog about twice per week, and include regular CC contributors along with a few such as me!
