Paul Schrag, U.S., 2014: Confessions of Faith stand in an awkward spot between ideals and realities. ... One should not overstate a Confessions importance. Just as there is more to being a peacemaker than not going to war, there is more to being a Christian than affirming a list of beliefs. In fact, some faith traditions do quite well without such a document. Other peace churches, the Quakers and the Church of the Brethren, claim they dont to profess a creed but simply try to follow Christ as revealed in Scripture. Perhaps it is no coincidence that these denominations are much less divided than Mennonites. The more a church defines the details of theological and behavioral correctness, the more it builds walls between people who share the same essential faith.
