I believe in one God, and in his son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit
Love God. Love your neighbor. Everything else is just window dressing.

This is a community only because I'm too lazy to log out as myself and log in as someone else. ;)
I'm a "cradle" Episcopalian, which means I was raised in the Episcopal Church and still attend an Episcopal church. Not doing a whole lot of comparative study, I don't know where and whether the stuff I believe lines up with any other denomination - or even, frankly, mine own. If you want to know what I believe, just read the Episcopal Catechism from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. Or, much shorter, the Nicene Creed.
The essence of my morality: Love God. Love your neighbor. Everything else is just window dressing.
As I grow, my perceptions of my self, my world, and my God change. Frequently I'm given cause to think by something I read, or hear, or see. And I mull it over and respond in my own terms. Since I'm not ordained: Layman's Terms.
That is to say, this is where I preach.
