2025 is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, widely recognised as the Church’s first Ecumenical Council. This drew on and popularised a tradition which has been widely adopted by churches throughout the world, of church leaders and/or representatives meeting to deal with matters doctrinal, ethical, disciplinary, missionary and liturgical, and documenting them in creeds and canons. The recognition or not of councils and their documents has also become a way in which churches tell their own institutional history, and situate themselves with regard to one another.
The Call for Papers for this conference is now open. Submission deadlines: 10 January 2025 (for those who need visas), 15 April 2025 (final). To apply, please download and fill out the following form and send it to ehseditorial@gmail.com.
