I can still well remember the surprise I felt when Prof. Bienert, a church historian in Marburg, who sadly passed away on March 7, 2021, encouraged us to write down a personal creed just for ourselves.
Your own creed? Possibly even at odds with the Apostles' Creed that we've all grown up with?
Listening to my own voice, to my own heart, that seemed downright daring to me at the beginning of my theological studies. I now know that faith is a personal matter close to my heart. Feeling yourself, trying to figure out what do I really believe, is not a sign of a lack of faith, but can, on the contrary, wake us up out of routine and indifference. No fear!
