"Obviously, I would have a lot to say about the concept of anathema. But, that wasn't the point of the inquiry."
I don't doubt you would! :) As a matter of curiosity, what role if any do the dogmatic pronouncements of The Church in the 7 Ecumenical Councils play in your faith?
"Again, thank you for the answer."
You are very welcome!
My faith is non-creedal; though I don't think the very earliest of creeds that came out (Apostles Creed, Nicene Creed) etc., would find too much objection (might need qualifying as far as definition of what 'catholic' means etc.,). But we have no formal creed that every church in the denomination adheres to. We do have a statement of faith that the vast majority of churches in the denomination believe in; but it isn't really a creed. Churches are governed at a local level only.
