Council of Nicea

The Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD, was a crucial meeting of Christian bishops convened by Emperor Constantine in modern-day Turkey. Its main purpose was to address disagreements about Christian beliefs, particularly the nature of Jesus Christ and his relationship to God. The council produced the Nicene Creed, a statement of faith affirming the belief in the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as co-equal. This event marked a significant step in unifying Christian doctrine and countering heretical views, helping to shape the future of Christianity as a major world religion.
