This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, called by Emperor Constantine in response to a Church deeply divided by the Arian controversy. And yet, 1700 years later, the Church remainds divided. What relevance does the source of the Nicene Creed have today?
Join us for a conversation on lessons from ancient Nicaea for a modern Pittsburgh.
