Reminds me of an instructive incident when I was in the Army.

I was helping with Vacation Bible School. Well, gotta do /something/
to keep the kids out of trouble in the Summer.

This was a general program, meaning it was dominated locally by people
from denominations that "did not believe in creeds" and never recited
them. I found this out when a teacher's guide noted that the book for
that year was Lutheran and so referred to "the Creed", a concept it
believed would be unknown to most teachers and students.

Fair enough; you don't have to /recite/ them, you just have to /agree/
with them to be orthodox Christians.

Imagine my surprise when each morning began with three "pledges of
allegiance": one to God, one to the Bible, and one to the Church.

That's what "no creeds" meant to these specific people: we make up our
own creeds. And equate God, Bible, and Church. Whoo, boy!

Lutheran, really? I was under the impression that they were more
small-o-orthodox than that.

I must have confused you.

/I/ was (am, IMHO) Lutheran.

/They/ were not.

But, if you learn nothing else in the Army, you learn tolerance.
