  • "We Believe: A Simple Exposition of the Creeds," written by St. Andrew's fourth vicar, the Rev. Angus Dun, was first published in 1934. It has been out of print for over 40 years, probably because some of its language relates to the 1928 Book of Common Prayer (superceded by the 1979 Book of Common Prayer). Nevertheless, we offer it here in the hope that a new generation of Episcopalians will find it as valuable today as it was when it was first written.
