This year sees the 1700th anniversary for the Council of Nicea, when a gathering of bishops from across the known world drafted the first version of the Nicene Creed, with the intention of uniting the church on the basis of apostolic teaching.
Over five weeks we will look at different aspects of the Creed, so as to deepen our own faith and understanding.
We hope to run the course in five different venues, and different times during each week - sign up on the sheet in the cathedral, or email for details.
Each week there will be something to read at home before the session, and something else to look at together during the session. You can download those texts from the grid on this webpage...
