The First Ecumenical Council as Fulfillment of Tradition
Update: 2025-06-02
Description
A look at how the Mosaic tradition of appointing elders to judge the people found its fulfillment in the First Ecumenical Council at Nicea
Note: I mention the Donatists, but, while I may have implied that the Church ultimately ruled that they were in the wrong, I’m not sure I made it explicit enough that their schism was condemned by the council that Constantine convened as a lack of love and in contravention of Christ’s teachings about repentance and forgiveness.
