A thoughtful presentation by Revered Peter Fraser-Morris an Instructor of Religion at JMU, followed by responses from Steve Dintaman, a retired Seminary Professor and professional truck driver, and Christian Good, a Bible teacher, philosopher, and retired farmer.

In this presentation, Rev. Dr. Fraser-Morris will highlight and trace the distinctions between the creed of the Council of Nicaea (325 CE) and the creed of the Council of Constantinople (381 CE). While the latter was represented as simply “reaffirming the faith of the Nicaea,“ the minor alterations and expansions speak to the way intervening theological debates shaped and qualified the doctrinal formulae of Nicaea.
