“Although the Church is often seen as the repository of a fixed and unchanging faith, it is better seen as a laboratory, in which the community of faith wrestles with how best to understand the gospel and bring it into creative dialogue with contemporary culture. The Church is both a grateful recipient and active interpreter of the Christian faith, seeking to be both faithful and effective in its reflections. Each generation needs to forge its own distinct visualisation of the gospel, realising that this is a temporary implementation of the Christian 'big picture'. The creeds create space for facilitating this process of imaginative interplay between the community of faith and its contexts; emphasising the need to be firmly rooted in the Christian tradition, while liberating us from the tyranny of traditionalism.”
