Credo

"The Latin credo means literally 'I give my heart' . . . Faith is not about propositions, but about commitment. It does not mean that I intellectually subscribe to the following list of statements, but that I give my heart to this reality. Believe, indeed, comes to us from the Old English belove, making it clear that this too is meant to be heart language. To say 'I believe in Jesus Christ' is not to subscribe to a certain proposition. It is a confession of commitment, of love." --Diana Eck, Encountering God
