*AFFIRMATION OF FAITH “Apostles’ Creed” No. 881
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus
Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the
Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the
third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right
hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick
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.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the
