What's vexing about it?

(It's the old 1928 Book of Common Prayer version. Is it inimical to Orthodox belief?)

I wonder, though, exactly what Vicki Gene found vexing about it . . . probably not the same things you do.

"What's vexing about it?"

Its not the Nicene Creed. It appears to be a rework of a later Western, some say heretical, version of the Creed.

"Is it inimical to Orthodox belief?)"

Yup!

" I wonder, though, exactly what Vicki Gene found vexing about it . . . probably not the same things you do."

I suspect you are very right, dear lady! I doubt that man has the theological training, even though he is a "bishop" to understand the Creed anyway.

Eastern Orthodox churches do not recognize "and the Son" in the phrase "Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son".
