In a way it will touch on a similar theme,)Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453255551532736555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211328034704476406.post-83325883807317962152010-01-24T13:34:04.216-08:002010-01-24T13:34:04.216-08:00I like Peter and read this quite a while back on h...I like Peter and read this quite a while back on his site. I don't think Peter cares for theology of the creeds.
