Synod of 325 AD

The Synod of 325 AD, also known as the First Council of Nicaea, was a pivotal meeting of Christian leaders convened by Emperor Constantine in Nicaea (modern-day Turkey). The assembly aimed to address divisions within Christianity, particularly the Arian controversy over the nature of Christ. The council established the Nicene Creed, affirming the belief in the Trinity—that Jesus is fully divine and of the same essence as God the Father. This council was significant in shaping Christian doctrine and promoting unity within the Church, setting a precedent for future ecumenical councils.
