The Masai Creed

Listen to the late Jaroslav Pelikan recite and comment on his favorite contemporary Christian creed. The segment is under 3 minutes:
The African Masai Creed

This is an excerpt I clipped from a Speaking of Faith podcast called "The Need for Creeds." Pelikan, according to the program website, was "a scholar who devoted his life to exploring the vitality of ancient theology and creeds. He insisted that even modern pluralists need strong statements of belief." You can listen to the entire interview with Speaking of Faith host, Krista Tippett, in this podcast.

I love this creed for its indigenous cultural quality. And I've benefitted greatly from Pelikan's scholarship. Thanks for pointing to this.

Grace and peace,
