Sentences with CREEDAL (5)

The creed was implied, but it was not expressed; and, although all the churches were Calvinist at first, the nature of the covenant was such that, when men grew liberal, there was no written creedal test by which they could be held to the old beliefs.
While the Unitarian body thus retained its use of the Christian name and its insistence upon loyalty to the teachings of Jesus, yet it put aside every form of dogmatic test and of creedal statement.

Quotes with CREEDAL (3)

But this is to put the cart before the horse.
The sense of a spiritual dimension in life is absolutely important, and the religious communities are also important.
