Presbyterian
Creeds & Confessions - The Creeds and Confessions produced by the
Christian Church over the centuries are not inspired additions to Scripture
nor in any way replacements for the words of Christ and his apostles or
the prophets which preceded them. Instead these human documents are carefully
considered and usually thoughtfully worded responses to various issues,
heresies and historical situations that have troubled the Church and the
world over the years. Creeds are statements of faith that are true and
authoritative insofar as they accurately reflect what Scripture teaches.

"The
Rescue" - Painting What Can't Be Seen by Bronna A. Butler
The Rescue painting was created
to provide an alternative image to the many brilliant, though horrific
photos of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. The Rescue's
image is symbolic - it is not what the human eye would see. It is meant
to show what the human spirit would feel. Even though our loved ones, heroes
and heroines were not rescued as we had hoped, they were rescued. To order
the print and/or postcards, visit her Web site at: http://home.att.net/~the.rescue/rescue.html
for complete details.
