On Confirmation

Preparing to lead my second confirmation class, came upon this quote from Rufinus on the reason why the Apostles' creed was not written down:

"The reason why the creed is not written down on paper or parchment, but is retained in the believers' hearts, is to ensure that is has been learned from the tradition handed down from the Apostles, and not from written texts, which occasionally fall into the hands of unbelievers."
