"Conference room, five minutes!"
-Emperor Constantine, probably

325 AD was a year of rebirth.

The Church was recovering from the Diocletianic Persecution, the worst wave of violence and discrimination faced thus far. Theologians and clergy were also battling the schism of the Donatists and the heresy of the Arians, both of which brought division to the body.

But 325 felt different. Realizing the need for unity and cooperation, the church gathered from far and wide in the Bithynian city of Nicaea, to discuss matters of polity, doctrine, and fellowship.

It would go on to become the greatest church business meeting of all time. As Taylor will say many times.

Thanks for listening, gang. Love you bunches.
