> In the Episcopal (Anglican) Church, the Apostles creed is generally used in services where Holy Communion is not offered and the Nicene creed when Communion is celebrated, the Nicene being somewhat longer

Lutheran, same.

And I’ll see your Apostle’s and Nicene and raise you an Athanasian!

I fully expected someone to bring the Athanasian Creed up if this discussion went on very long.
It’s a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma (thanks, Sir Winston) and it attempts to explain how one thing can be three things and yet be one thing. I don’t know if a mere mortal can get their brain around this - I can’t! I’m just going to wait and one day it will be my time to find out the answer, at least I hope so.
