Scripture, Tradition, Reason - The Scripture, The Sacred, The Spirit

The Anglican Church also recognizes the role of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason within the life of the church. God has given us the Scriptures as Divine revelation of Himself, he has given us the Sacred as sacramental/liturgical manifestation of Christ, and he has given us the Spirit as the illuminator of our reason and sanctifier of our soul. therefore, it is through these three avenues that the Body of Christ matures.

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty; Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who, for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
