Week 4 of our Trinitytide Series on the Apostles' Creed. We look at Jesus' conception, birth, and suffering.

In our final class on the Ecumenical Councils, we look at how Nicaea 2 was received by the Lutherans and the Reformed, and how historic Anglicanism fits into the picture. We discuss the "Homily on the Peril of Idolatry," the influence of later Gothic Revival and Ecuminism, how Anglicans approach the issues today, and finaly evaluate the Council from the perspective of our Anglican Formularies.

In the first part of our discussion on the Seventh Council, we discuss some of the difficulties with properly representing the Council, the background issues, and the Council itself. Next week we will discuss some of the implications of the Council for Anglicans today.

Part 2 of our 2025 Trinitytide Sermon Series

We discuss the sixth ecumenical council, yet another attempt to reconcile the increasingly fractured early church. The controversy at hand is whether Christ has two “energies” and two wills, a human and a divine. We also touch on the contemporary debate over the “eternal subordination of the Son in Reformed circles.

We discuss the fifth ecumenical council, which attempted to reconcile the churches of Syria and Egypt with the rest of the Church. The question at hand: how can Christ’s human nature be a true nature without having its now personhood distinct from the Divine Person of the Logos?
