Family Creed Generator

Faith as a family value

For many families, faith is the foundation every other value rests on. A creed is a natural place to say it plainly: we pray together, we trust that we are held, we pass on what we were given. The Family Creed Generator keeps faith lines broad enough for any tradition; you can add your own words.
