The Nicene Creed is a foundational statement of many Christians around the world. Tim Kelleher, an actor who has appeared in a number of movies and television shows, joins us to discuss the documentary video that he wrote and produced on this important declaration of one’s faith. The video is entitled The Creed: What Christians Profess and Why It Ought to Matter and is designed to be a conversation with a number of priests, theologians, and scholars about the importance of The Nicene Creed both in their personal lives and for the life of the Church.
Our conversation begins with Tim discussing how he became involved in this project given that it is rather unusual for a Hollywood actor to strike out on his own and make a documentary about a religious topic.
