Mea culpa. (I'm Jewish, okay? Most of what I know about the
Credo comes from singing in my college chorus.) I meant the
Nicene Creed. I don't think that the Apostles' Creed would last
long enough to produce more than a warm, liquid egg.
Stefan, can you delete the words "the Apostles Creed" from my
original message before it goes into the Florilegium? I don't want
to mislead anyone.
