UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF TERRA (UCT)

The Credes

The Universal Church of Terra has several different Credes, which date back to different times, places and cultures. However, there is only one original and authentic Crede. Its official name is The Crede of the Universal Church of Terra, but most of the time it is called the First Crede, the Long Crede, the Real Crede, the Grant Crede, the Talmorian Crede, the Crede of St. Sharika or simply The Crede.

This Crede is called the First Crede, the Real Crede or the Crede of Saint Sharika, because it is the first Crede. It predates all others. Its has been handed down to the Founder of the Universal Church of Terra, Saint Sharika, by the Eternal and Omnipotent Light of Wisdom and Truth Itself, to act as a neverending, divine source of wisdom, truth, joy and strength.

Because this Crede is the first Crede and has been given to the Founder of the Church by the Light Itself, it is considered to be original and authentic and to placed above all other Credes. 

Below are all the Credes of the Church, beginning with First and Real Crede.
