Maximum faith

There are many creeds but only one faith.
Creeds may change, develop, and grow flat,
while the substance of faith remains the same in all ages.
The overgrowth of creed may bring about
the disintegration of that substance.
The proper relation is a minimum of creed and a maximum of faith.
