Letter to the editor : More on reconciliation and creeds

Notes: "I must write to say I agree with the words written by Carl McCorrister in the January 2022 issue ('On unmarked graves and the Apostles' Creed'. Letters, p. 5). He was correct in saying that changing the word 'catholic' to 'Christian' would show meaningful change as per the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations. On a personal note, I have had to explain the use of 'catholic' to people on various occasions, as it implies that we are part of the denomination, as opposed to the worldwide Christian church, and it often leaves those who are unfamiliar with the creeds shaking their heads. Let us move swiftly to change this wording to show that we are promoting the healing of hurt that exists by changing wording in both the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed".
