LDS bumper stickers include "Happiness is Familly home evening" "CTR" On the subject of the whole nicene creed thing . . . I'm not convinced it's doctrinal. The guys who wrote it were the bishops of the different churches, were they not? No apostles left among them?

The Latter Day Saints have something vaguely similar to the nicene creed (basic declaration of faith) in the articles of faith. #1 on the list is "We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in his son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." I believe that there are three beings, united in purpous and equal in love and understanding (they are all infinite), but they are nonetheless individuals.

Each item is simply a restatement of Scripture.

"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord."
