The First Council of Nicaea met in 325 A.D. in present-day Turkey; the assembly was the first ecumenical council of the Christian Church. The bishops at the council drafted a unified Christian statement of faith that is still recited and accepted by Catholic, Orthodox and many Protestant churches today.

Now, 17 centuries after that cornerstone was laid, Sacred Heart Major Seminary will dive deep into the ancient creed that lives on today with an academic conference this fall. “Nicaea at 1700: The First Council and the ‘Way Together’” will take place at Sacred Heart from Oct. 2-4 and will explore the relationship between the Council of Nicaea and the local church.
