Surely 7 comes after 4 not after 6? It is part of the Christ section rather than the Spirit section.

Like [livejournal.com profile] antimony I noted the absence of the church (or any of the rest of the final section -- one baptism for the remission of sins, resurrection fo the dead and life of the world to come). I think I'd do the Spirit in one session (as it were, not that could hope to cover everything as the 'Spirit blows were it wills' and all) and do the last four clauses of the creed in the last week.

I'd agree about putting 6 after 7. Trinitarian discourse could more or less run as a thread through it, developing as you go, starting with the first clause. I see the structure as asserting the Unity in the first clause, then enumerating the Persons.

The thing I like about the end (One Holy, Catholic, Apostolic ... baptism ... resurrection ... life) is that it seems to link ecclesiology, sacramentology and eschatology -- a complicated relationship, but it says "What's the point of our being Church" -- which is an important question. Just see much of the rest of this thread. For a lot of people it isn't answered satisfactorily.

Just OOI, your take on hell and purgatory? I tend to incline toward universalism, but of course it's a Mystery and not up to me.

Enjoy the week!
