creeds
Creeds are formal statements of shared beliefs or doctrines, often used by religious groups to define and affirm their core principles. They serve as a unified expression of faith, guiding members in understanding their religion’s teachings and practices. Creeds are typically crafted through historical consensus and are recited in worship or communal settings to reinforce identity and doctrinal consistency. While most associated with Christianity, many religions and organizations utilize creeds to articulate their fundamental beliefs, helping members stay connected to their spiritual principles and fostering a sense of unity.
