Religious Councils

Religious councils are gatherings of religious leaders and scholars from a particular faith or denomination. Their purpose is to discuss, interpret, and make decisions on important issues, doctrines, and practices within the religion. Councils can address matters such as theology, ethics, governance, and social issues affecting the community. They help establish consensus and guide the direction of the faith. Examples include the Council of Nicaea in Christianity, which defined key doctrines. Such councils can also work towards unity between different factions or denominations within a faith.
