| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Nicene Creed |
 | | In this form the Nicene article concerning the Holy Ghost is enlarged; several words, notably the two clauses "of the substance of the Father" and "God of God," are omitted as also are the anathemas; ten clauses are added; and in five places the words are differently located. | | | As approved in amplified form at the Council of Constantinople (381), it is the profession of the Christian Faith common to the Catholic Church, to all the Eastern Churches separated from Rome, and to most of the Protestant denominations. | | | The Nicene Symbol, however, continued to be the only one in use among the defenders of the Faith. |

| | The Nicene Creed |
| | The Nicene Creed, which was formulated at the Councils of Nicaea in 325 AD and of Constantinople in 381 AD (1st and 2nd Ecumenical Councils), has been recognised since then as the authoritative expression of the fundamental beliefs of the Orthodox Church. | | | The Creed is often referred to as the "Symbol of Faith". | | | The Creed is recited at the time of Baptism, during every Divine Liturgy, and as part of the daily prayers of the Orthodox Christian. |

| | Ecumenical Christian Creeds |
| | 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. | | | 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 Nicene Creed was developed by the early Church largely in response to the teachings of Arius. |

| | 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 Nicene Creed may help renew Trinitarian theology in the church and could be a fountainhead for reflection on the doctrine of the Trinity. | | | A creed is a summary of Christian Faith written by the church in order to confess clearly what it believes. |

| | Faith: Nicene Creed |
| | The creed was a response to the "Arian" movement, which challenged the church's teaching that Christ was both fully human and fully divine. | | | This creed is recited in the Sunday worship of the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and many Lutheran and Reformed congregations also use the creed when they celebrate Holy Communion. | | | Affirmations of the faith for public worship are available in the New Century Hymnal and the Book of Worship of the United Church of Christ. |

| | The Nicene Creed: Ancient Symbol of the Catholic Faith |
| | Remember that the creed is ultimately derived from the worship of Christians, who baptize in the name of the Trinity, and pray to the Father in the name of the Son, through the Holy Spirit. | | | The creed is purposely based on the Bible, the story of God and Christ. | | | The creed seems to affirm both the existence of a soul-filled heaven and the later resurrection of the dead when soul meets glorified body. |

| | The Nicene Creed |
| | So for a while there was a Church with the Nicene Creed but, even though it used the books of the New Testament as Holy Scripture, it had no official statement saying that they were. | | | In 1439, at the Roman Catholic Council of Florence, the Roman Catholic Church invited the Eastern Orthodox Churches and attempted a reunion. | | | The Church formulated the Nicene Creed before it selected certain apostolic writings, called them the New Testament, and declared them to be Holy Scripture. |

The decisions of the First Ecumenical Synod gave us the largest part of our Creed of Faith, its first seven articles. |

| | The Nicene Creed |
| | Later the Western Church unilaterally added a single word filioque (and the son") to the creed, so as to read "the Spirit...proceeds from the Father and the Son." The Eastern Church rejected this addition, in 867 declaring the Western Church heretical for it. | | | To this day the Western Church (Catholic and Protestant) accepts the filioque clause, while the Eastern Church (Orthodox) does not. | | | The Orthodox Church does not recognize this addition. |

| | Trinity: The role of Constantine in the Nicene creed |
| | Although Constantine did put forth the Nicene creed term "hoinoousios" (of one substance), it is universally recognized that Ossius (a bishop and Constantine’s spiritual adviser) was the one who told Constantine to suggest the term be in the creed. | | | Anti-Trinitarians falsely portray Constantine as a pagan sun worshipper who had no faith in Christ and was practically the sole author of the Nicene creed. | | | What seemed especially objectionable to many bishops and theologians of the East was the concept put into the creed by Constantine himself, the homoousios, which in the subsequent strife between orthodoxy and heresy became the object of dissension. |

| | CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH |
| | 194 The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. | | | Its great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter the first of the apostles, to which he brought the common faith".[13] | | | To say the Credo with faith is to enter into communion with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and also with the whole Church which transmits the faith to us and in whose midst we believe: |

| | Introduction to the Nicene Creed |
| | To counter a widening rift within the church, Constantine convened a council in Nicaea in A.D. A creed reflecting the position of Alexander and Athanasius was written and signed by a majority of the bishops. | | | To hold otherwise, they said, was to open the possibility of polytheism, and to imply that knowledge of God in Christ was not final knowledge of God. | | | Nevertheless, the two parties continued to battle each other. |

St. Athanasius assures us that the activities of the Council were nowise hampered by Constantine's presence. | | | Of all the Acts of this Council, which, it has been maintained, were numerous, only three fragments have reached us: the creed, or symbol, given above (see also NICENE CREED); the canons; the synodal decree. |
