2025 Nicaea Study Day, Saturday 10 May 2025, at St Ninian’s Cathedral
Every Sunday we sat the ‘Nicene Creed’, an ecumenical statement of faith we share with all other orthodox Christians in many churches which sums up the Christian faith. 2025 is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea where this creed was first put together, though the form we use is the final version as completed at the Council of Constantinople in 381.
There are not many things in weekly use by over a billion people which are 1700 years old so this is something to celebrate. St Ninian’s Cathedral will be joining with the Scottish Episcopal Institute to host a study day on the Council of Nicaea on Saturday 10th May. The main speaker will be Professor Lewis Ayres of Durham University and the Angelicum, Rome. He is the author of the important book Nicaea and its Legacy which changed our way of understanding the teaching of Nicaea on the Trinity and its importance for our life of faith and contemplation.
Further details will be given later.
