Council of Nicaea (First)

The First Council of Nicaea took place in 325 AD and was a significant event in early Christianity. Convened by Emperor Constantine, it aimed to address divisions and disputes within the Church, particularly regarding the nature of Christ and his relationship to God. The council produced the Nicene Creed, which defined Christian beliefs, affirming that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human. It also addressed issues like the date of Easter and church governance. This council helped establish foundational doctrines of Christianity and fostered unity among early Christians.
