Here Comes Nicaea 2025: Are we Ready for Visible Unity?
Wednesday, January 22, 2025
7:00 pm, St. Thomas More College, 1437 College Drive, Saskatoon
The goal of “visible unity” lies at the heart of ecumenical endeavour. It animated the Council of Nicaea, and it continues to engage Christians today. Can we agree on what it means? Are we ready to embrace it? What would it take? And would the visible unity of Christians make a difference – in our churches, and in the world?

Those gathered at Nicaea sought to transmit the proclamation of the earliest Christian evangelists faithfully. It was not an easy task. It continues to perplex those who seek Christian unity. What does the faith of Nicaea teach us about living together as Christians today?
