Abstract
The ancient and controlling creeds of the church contain an overly compact and thus deficient first article. While there may be many things that could be added to the creed, I propose that the one fundamentally necessary clause lacking for proper representation of what Christian faith must say about the first person of the Trinity is the affirmation that God delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage. Theological, liturgical, and pedagogical reasons are given to indicate why such a clause is necessary for the most minimal statement of faith about God the Father and for avoiding a kind of modalism that does not affirm the commonality of Father and Son in the redemptive work of God in the world.
