This is the introductory episode to our new multipart series on the First Council of Nicaea in 325AD. We will take a quick look at the issues that were faced at this first Ecumenical council, as well as the role of the Roman Popes, other leading bishops and Emperors of Rome in this process. We will also take the opportunity to put the Council of Nicaea into context within the history of the first seven Ecumenical Councils.You can learn more about the History of Papacy and subscribe at all these great places:http://atozhistorypage.com/email: steve@atozhistorypage.comhttp://rss.acast.com/historyofthepapacyAgora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/historyofthepapacy.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
