Winghatn vanee-Tim 2 Thursday, March 24, L ' e Dramatic festival of banners to be held Sunday at Langside In a drannatic and inspiring worship service, one of many held throughout the area to com- memorate the 100th anniversary of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Langside and White- church Presbyterian congrega- tions will honor the creeds of the Christian Church. This service will make a study of eigh confessions or creeds which have influenced the Presbyterian faith. To bring the creeds to life, banners will be on display depicting the history of the church and its beliefs. A nar- ration will describe the histort4cal background and clarify the political and religious atmos- phere which fostered each creed's existence, as well as ex- plaining the symbolism ex- pressed in each work of art. Music will also be an important part of the program. The eight creeds represented at the banner festival will date from the early Apostles' Creed to a modern-day confession written in 1967. The Apostles' Creed This is the oldest and best known of all creeds. Protestants and Roman Catholics alike recite this creed. It began as the simple three-part creed: I believe in God the Father, I believe in God the Son, I believe in God the Holy Spirit. Later, sentences were added to these original three statements. The Nicene Creed This creed was written during the reign of Emporer Constantine in 325 at Nicea, a little town in what is now central Turkey. Con- stantine was the first Christian emperor and he wanted to Make Christianity the official religion of his empire. This creed stressed the divinity of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit as the very action of God Himself. But while Jesus was fully divine, He was also fully human - the divine and - human dwelling perfectly together in one person. The Scots Confession The 16th century was the cen- t ry of the Protestant.. Reforma- tion, the revolt against Roman Catholicism. The Reformation in Scotland was a stormy affair with much suffering and bloodshed and many changes on'the seeneof k. church life and belief. ' John Knox was the architect of the Scottish Reformation. He and five colleagues wrote the Scots Confession in 1560 in a period of just four days and for 100 years it was the basic standard of belief for the Church of Scotland. Thiss creed points the way out of the errors of medieval Catholic- ism a d away from the tyranny of the throne, to a way of faith- fulness to the Word and loyalty to the One True God. The Heidelberg Catechism In the 16th century, in south- west Germany, Elector Freder- ick III, a strong Calvinist and ruler of the territory, com- missioned two disciples of John Calvin and Henry Bullinger to prepare a catechism which couL� be used to instruct new Christian and young children. The result was the Heidelberg Catechism, produced in 1563 and still used today be reformed churches throughout the world who originate from Germany, the Netherlands and Hungary. The creed is a tender and warm-hearted Calvinist state- ment of faith, reflecting the faith of the Bible that all who commit themselves to Christ may share in a confident experience of triumph over all of life's miser- ies. The Second Helvetic Confession The author of the second Helvetic Confession, or Swiss Confession, was not Calvin but his friend Henry Bullinger of Zurich. He prepared it first as a statement of personal faith and later, during a. serious illness, he revised it. Though it was never intended as a public document, those who read it were deeply moved and so it was adopted as the official confession of faith of all Swiss. Protestant churches. The creed contains the pastoral concerns of a minister who cares for his flock and who himself has endured many troubles. The Westminster e Confession of Faith For all Presbyterians in the English-speaking world, this creed his been the standard of faith and practice. It was pro- duced in Westminster Abbey between the years 1643 and 1649 and after the Bible, has been the chief doctrinal guide for Presby- terians. It speaks of God as being a Spirit, infinite, eternal and un- changeable, and it states that "man's chief end is to glorify God." The Theological Inc tart �rq n hen Nazism fried to ake control of all the, churches in Germany, many Lutherans, Re- formed Christians and Union Church leaders voiced their op- position and formed a new force against Hitler. Out of this gather- ing in 1934 in Barmen, a small town in Germany, came this declaration. It strongly rejected all false doctrines that en- couraged worship of other Lords, and stressed the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture and the role of Christ as the only Savior of Mankind. The Confession of 1967 For the Christian of the century, the Confession of 1967 was written for a world torn by war, divided by racism and dis- turbed by social inequalities. It wasintended to be a map by which the Christian could chart his course, marching into the future with joyful confidence, be- lieving that Christ would meet Him on the way. The new, updated, 'map' con- fesses faith in JesuChrist who came into the world as the Prince of Peace. It advocates the aboli- tion of all racial discriminations and a continuance of the search for co-operation and peace among all God's people. 0-0-0 The Festival of Banners,. honoring these creeds, will begin at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning and will be held in the Langside Presbyterian Church. All inter- ested in seeing the banners and ' learning more about the Chris- tian creeds that are the heritage of our faith, are urged to attend. The Chalmers-Langside charge will hold three more special ser- vices to commemorate the centennial year: on May 25, when anniversary services will be held at Chalmers; June 22, Langside anniversary; and in early fall when a service as yet unplanned will be held at Chalmers. Mrs. Sheila Kirkland, national co-ordinator of the centennial banner committee, will be in charge of Sunday's e s service. a d Y Norman Hayes is dinner speaker.
