creeds

"Christ, in His Divine innocence, said to the Woman of Samaria, 'Ye worship ye know not what' - being apparently under the impression that it might be desirable, on the whole, to know what one was worshiping. He thus showed Himself sadly out of touch with the twentieth-century mind, for the cry today is: 'Away with the tedious complexities of dogma - let us have the simple spirit of worship; just worship, no matter of what!' The only drawback to this demand for a generalized and undirected worship is the practical difficulty of arousing any sort of enthusiasm for the worship of nothing in particular." (Dorothy Sayers Creed or Chaos? 29-30)
