Nicea 1,700: Global leaders gather

Michael Reeves speaking at the event.

Istanbul, Turkey – Over four days, 22–25 October, more than 470 Christian leaders from around the world convened in Istanbul to commemorate the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed, a foundational statement of Christian faith established in 325AD.

The conference, held in a Muslim-majority country, was notable not only for its historical significance to the church but also for its diverse international participation. Attendees included speakers and teachers from Egypt, Dubai, Kenya, Italy, Russia, India, USA and the UK, offering rich teaching and reflections on the enduring relevance of the Creed.

A highlight of the event was a guided historical tour of ancient Nicea (modern-day İznik), where the original council took place. Participants also had access to a great offering of theological books, thanks to 10ofThose alongside a new Turkish publisher.
