         I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;

          And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,     

          born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;

         He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into

          heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall

          come to judge the quick and the dead.

          I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church; the communion of saints;

          the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
