	Nicene Main
		The Nicene Creed was originally written in 325 A.D. (in Greek) when the Roman Emporer Constantine called together the Council of Nicaea (in Asia Minor) to address the fragmented character of the Christian church--a church fragmented primarily because of disputes over whether or not Jesus Christ was fully God.
		The Special Committee on the Nicene Creed was created by the 209th General Assembly (1997) and reported to the 210th General Assembly (1998), recommending that the Book of Confessions be amended to replace the older translation of the Nicene Creed with a contemporary translation.
		The Nicene Creed may help renew Trinitarian theology in the church and could be a fountainhead for reflection on the doctrine of the Trinity.

	The Nicene Creed (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Contrary to its name, the creed now called the Nicene Creed was adopted not by the Council of Nicea (325), first of the seven ecumenical councils, but by the second council, that of Constantinople (381).
		This Constantinopolitan Creed was probably based upon an earlier baptismal creed from Jerusalem or Antioch, which in turn was an expression of the original Nicene Creed, that adopted by the Council of Nicea in 315.
		With the exception of this clause, the Nicene Creed remains one of the eceumenical creeds, a creed recognized by all the Church.
