Getting to Know the 7 Ecumenical Councils: Nicaea
In 325 A.D., Christians gathered at the Council of Nicaea to produce the original version of what we know as the Nicene Creed—a statement of faith that has shaped and tied the Church together across generations, traditions, and cultures. Having just passed the 1700-year anniversary of this historic gathering, we invite you to join us for our upcoming mini-series as we explore the significance and meaning of each of the Church’s historic 7 Ecumenical Councils.
During this series which will spread across the next few semesters, we will discuss the issues that led to the need of each Council, key figures who influenced the debates, and how the impact of the Councils affects all of Christendom today. If you are interested in the deepest, most important roots of historic Christianity, you will not want to miss!
We are excited to welcome Ryan Lytton as our Guest Speaker for this series of talks! Ryan is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Historical Theology and lives locally. You can learn more about him HERE. Hot drinks and dessert provided!
