This is a trial version of a combined creed for liturgical worship, set in a feminine language, for consideration for future use in the proposed Book of Divine Service. The verbiage combines the elements of the Apostle's Creed, Nicene Creed and the Filianic Creed.
I believe in one eternal God, maker of the universe and all things therein, seen and unseen. There is one God alone, and none besides Her, one eternal God, without beginning, by whom all things were made. I believe in one eternal law, no law other than Her supreme law, which governeth all things, eternally ruled and ordered by Her love, Her word, and Her wisdom.
And I believe in Her virgin Daughter, born of the virgin Mother, the ruler of all creation, whose nature is perfect love. Light of light, of true essence of the Holy Mother, she became incarnate Maid for our salvation so the maid might come to God. She descended to the abyss of darkness, suffered under the forces of death, died, and was risen victoriously, once and for all overcoming the chasm of darkness and its powers. She ascended to the right hand of Her Holy Mother, from thence She reigneth with the Holy Mother as the Queen of Heaven for all eternity.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, eternal deity and giver of life, whose name has not been spoken on earth; with the Holy Mother and Holy Daughter together is glorified and worshiped. She spake through prophets, dwells with us in Her all-pervading presence, and teacheth and sanctifieth God's people.
I believe in One Holy, Apostolic Catholic Church, communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the dead and eternal life to come; through the triumphant life of the risen Holy Daughter, my soul shall rise renewed in Her perfection that I may return to eternal communion with the one eternal God.
