For 1,700 years, its words have formed a cornerstone of Christian faith, recited by millions around the world as a fundamental declaration of their beliefs. This week, Pam Rhodes marks the anniversary of the Nicene Creed by investigating why this ancient text remains so powerful and significant in the 21st century.
To understand its enduring impact, Pam brings together three influential figures from different branches of the Church: Anba Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church, Bernard Longley, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham, and former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. In a rare meeting of minds, they discuss the creed’s origins, its meaning, and its role as a profound symbol of Christian unity across denominations.
