At the first of their meetings to focus on the Holy Spirit, two years ago in Wales, the Commission recommended the omission of the Filioque clause from the Nicene Creed, allowing that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father without adding the words, “and the Son.”
The meeting of the Anglican-Oriental Orthodox International Commission and the Agreement reached by the Commission was a major milestone for the two families of churches, Anglican & Oriental Orthodox. The Commission has made a major agreement regarding the common beliefs of the two groups regarding the nature of Christ. It was also noted that the Commission had also made a preliminary agreement with regard to the Holy Spirit. That preliminary agreement concerns the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, commonly known as the Nicene Creed.
