Nicea 1700

The Anglican Church in Belgium is celebrating two major anniversaries in 2025. From 18 to 21 September in Mechelen, we will be fully involved in the centenary celebrations of the ground-breaking Malines Conversations between Anglicans and Catholics, spearheaded by Cardinal Mercier. On 21 January, the Chaplain-President met with other chefs de culte in Belgium to discuss how the Christian Churches in Belgium would celebrate the 1700th anniversary this year of the first Ecumenical Council of Nicea in 325 and the Nicene Creed which the council drafted. Anglican worship still uses the Nicene Creed in the Holy Communion service and it remains the confession of faith of all the mainstream and orthodox Christian Churches.
