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.
