The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost

The Fourteenth Sunday After Pentecost

O God, forasmuch as without thee we are not able to please thee, mercifully grant that thy Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the same Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (Proper 19)

In this series examining the Christian theological tradition, we look at the four ecumenical councils of the Church, as they sought to articulate orthodox Christian belief.

Today we begin our study of the first four ecumenical councils, starting with the First Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325. The importance of this council cannot be overstated: attended by hundreds of bishops, it addressed foundational issues, particularly the divinity of Jesus, and resulted in the first version of what became the Nicene Creed. Next week, we turn to the First Council of Constantinople (A.D. 381), which finalized the creed (mostly).
