Nicene Creed Video
George Lee, Matt Linderman, and others at Confessio Films made this beautiful video of the Nicene Creed.
One Holy Catholic & Apostolic Church
This “teaching” is a little different than the others. It centers on the homily given by Bishop Robert Barron on Pentecost 2020, which looks at each aspect of the Nicene Creed’s description of the church as One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic. We had a Zoom retreat on 22 August 2020, where we listened to this homily and reflected on it, “lectio-style”. Amy Cogdell provides a short introduction, then there is the 16-minute homily, then various reflections of our community members on aspects of the homily that the Holy Spirit highlighted for them.
