	Council of Nicaea - LoveToKnow 1911
		NICAEA The Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) is an event of the highest importance in the history of Christianity.
		Since the creed dated from a period anterior to the outbreak of the Arian struggle, its reception would have been equivalent to a declaration on the part of the council that it declined to define its position with reference to the controversy of the hour.
		The creed thus evolved - the expression oµoounLos is of Western origin - was finally signed by all the deputies with the exception of the bishops Theonas of Marmarica and Secundus of Ptolemais: even the Arians had submitted.

		A creed of modern times is the 'Credo of the People of God' promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1967 on the occasion of the 19th centenary of the martyrdom of saints Peter and Paul.

		The Creed used in the Liturgy is the one read at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 as that approved by the 150 Fathers (at the Council of Constantinople in 381).
		These creeds are based on the creeds in which the candidates for Baptism proclaimed and expressed their adherence to Christ and to the Christian faith, but included additional terms, phrases and clauses making explicit specific aspects of the Church's dogma.
		In the case of the Nicene Creed, the term "homoousios" was brought into the creed to express the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father.

	First Council of Nicaea - RecipeFacts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Council of Nicaea was historically significant because it was the first effort to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all of Christendom.Richard Kieckhefer (1989).
		The first Council of Nicaea was the first general gathering of bishops from the whole Church, to resolve differences of faith that had arisen and to define clearly the faith received from the apostles.
		Thus, instead of a baptismal creed acceptable to both the homoousian and Arian parties, as proposed by Eusebius, the council promulgated one which was unambiguous in the aspects touching upon the points of contention between these two positions, and one which was incompatible with the beliefs of Arians.

	Nicene Creed
		The Nicene Creed, or the Icon/Symbol of the Faith, is a Christian statement of faith accepted by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and major Protestant churches.
		Those words were not included by the Council of Nicaea or of Constantinople, but were added later by Roman Catholics, and the Eastern Orthodox churches consider their inclusion to be a heresy.
		The filioque clause was officially added to the creed by the Second Council of Lyons in 1274 although it was first used in liturgy during the coronation of Holy Roman Emperor Henry II by Pope Benedict VIII in 1014.

	Ecumenical Christian Creeds
		The first creeds of the Christian Church are called ecumenical creeds because they were decided upon in church councils that represented the entire church at the time before the church permanently spilt into Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Roman) factions in AD 1054.
		The Apostles' Creed is one of the oldest creeds of Christianity, dating in an early form to at least the middle second century with roots in the biblical traditions of the Gospels.
		However, Anathasius died in AD 373 and the Athanasian Creed closely reflects wording of the Nicene Creed adopted by the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, suggesting that it was written sometime after that.

	First Council of Nicaea - Definition, explanation
		The First Council of Nicaea, which took place during the reign of the emperor Constantine in 325 AD, was the first ecumenical (from Greek oikumene, "worldwide") conference of bishops of the Christian Church.
		Horrified by the Donatist and Arian fractualizations, Constantine resolved to restore the unity of the Church and provide a clear guideline on what it meant to be a practicing Christian, a momentous event in the history of the Church and subsequent history of Europe.
		Accordingly, for the summer of 325 AD, the bishops of all provinces were summoned to Nicaea in Bithynia, a place easily accessible to the majority of the bishops, especially those of Asia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Greece, and Thrace.

		First, although there are no minutes, the Creed of the council and its twenty canons, or disciplinary decisions, are preserved in a variety of sources, as is a synodical letter that the council sent to the church of Alexandria.
		He duly signed the creed and was so embarrassed at the apparent inconsistency of this (in the light of his earlier teaching) that he hastily wrote a tortuous letter of explanation to his church.
		Nicaea, therefore, while it affirmed the full deity of Christ was not in any way a final resolution of the doctrine of the Trinity.

	The Road to Nicaea - Christian History
		After the council, many of the same bishops who had signed its creed appeared at other councils, often reversing their previous decisions according to the way the winds of preferment were blowing.
		Their task was to proclaim the ancient Christian faith against all attacks, and this was not something they felt they had to seek out or worry over—they simply had to state among themselves a common and clear heritage, one that could be proclaimed by universal acclamation.
		The newly amplified creed was given a set of six legal "threats" attached to it (named anathemas) which spelled out in great detail all the classic marks of "Arian" philosophy and threatened with excommunication any who maintained them thereafter.

		Bishop Eusebius of Doylaeum was equally mistaken in maintaining at Chalcedon itself, that the third canon had been sanctioned by the Pope; and we shall have occasion further on, in the history of the Council of Chalcedon, to show the untenable character of both statements.
