In 325 AD, under the chairmanship of Bishop Hosius of Cordoba, the Council of Nicaea brought together for the first time bishops from all over the then Christian world to reflect on the nature and identity of Jesus Christ, and what it means to speak of him as both divine and human. 

It began a process that was eventually to lead, 60 or so years later, to the formulation of what is now called the Nicene Creed, regularly used by millions of Christians, including Anglicans, to proclaim their faith Sunday by Sunday. 

This course aims to help us understand the impact of the Council of Nicaea in three ways: 

1. To learn about the Nicene Creed, and the place of creeds more generally in the church’s life and liturgy 

2. To understand the meaning of the Nicene Creed. The words of the Creed are not straightforward. 

3. To be inspired by the Nicene Creed, so that we may serve God more faithfully, in worship and mission.
