As the above poster suggested, all Christians should know the Nicene Creed--Apostles' and Athanasian as well, as far as I'm concerned. In the Evangelical Lutheran Church, we regularly use the first two; not so much with regard to the third.

It will be more of a challenge for ELCA Lutherans to continue using the Athanasian Creed in the years ahead as it was not included in the 2007 book Evangelical Lutheran Worship,thanks in part to the efforts of Michael Burk, newly elected Bishop of the SE Iowa Synod.

Interesting. I wasn't referring to ELCA, but now I'm curious as to why the Athanasian Creed is being phased out, as it were.
