So the creed reads the same in all five(!) liturgies now. That's right: the people who insisted on changing everything are now insisting that we should all be the same. The same people who cobble together a different "liturgy" every Sunday, are now trying to screw up our liturgy in the name of "keeping everything the same." Why do these folk never realize just how useful oars can be until after they're out in the middle of the lake? In response to Wes: The twisted part of the reasoning behind

Even with Setting Three (which seems to be "page 15") it is, I like to say, confused. Why would they keep the "Thees and Thous" in the Gloria, Salutation, Offertory Preface, Sanctus, Lord's Prayer, Angus Dei, and the Nunc Dimittis, but (for no reason?) change the verbiage in the CONFESSION and the CREEDS? Crazy. And unnecessary. Yes, this is one of the problems with the LSB. Even with Setting Three (which seems to be “page 15″) it is, I like to say, confused.
