Hi.

Former Pepsicolian here.

In terms of Salvation’s choice (a few posts above) of worshipping the words or scorning them, SOME Pepsicolians manage to do both! I heard the rector of a nearby parish call the creed a “poem”! My ample behind it’s a poem! But one could see that what he was doing was giving himself permission to say it without meaning it.

But, saying it beats not saying it (or them) for the reason that out there is some young kid who doesn’t yet realize that the man in a dress is lying. That kid is wrestling with the creeds, trying to understand them and why we say them and what they’re about. So the insincere liturgical blather of the priest is being used by God to touch the heart and mind of one of His elect.

I know whereof I speak here ...

The Nicene Creed is a poem? Outlandish!

Ok I'm presuming that a Pepsicolian is a Episcopalian, While the different spelling is this something that you just have to hang around a certain crowd to start calling yourself a pepsicolian or is it a misspelling.
