THE CREEDS
Sir-Your correspondence column is always interesting. When it is not constructive it is amusing. Your letter signed C.M.L. claims that God is imprisoned within the Creeds, If C.M.L. took the trouble to look up the three Creeds, which all historic Christianity acknowledges (Protestant and Roman Catholic), he might be surprised to discover that God is described as Infinite, Eternal, Incomprehensible, etc. How God could be more than infinite or eternal, for instance, would make an interesting study. It is also worth noticing that the Creeds acknowledge God as a Person, while C.M.L. limits God to a mere Force. It is a pity that correspondents do not look up their references when they are uncertain of their facts. The obvious fact is that C.M.L. does not know the three Creeds, which are the common treasure of the whole of Christianity.
