From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cover of the Orthodox Creed, published in 1679

The Orthodox Creed, also known as the Orthodox Confession of Faith, shortly the Orthodox Confession, or even as the Buckingham Creed or as the 1679 Baptist Confession of Faith (in modern times), is a General Baptist confession of faith.[1][2] Drafted up after a Baptist regional assembly held in Buckinghamshire in 1678, the Orthodox Creed was intended to be an official creed of the General Assembly of General Baptists in England; it was adopted by the Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire Baptist Associations, and was influential within Baptist churches in England and America.[3]
