WCC will host “Nicaea 2025 Bossey International Conference”

The Ecumenical Institute at Bossey in collaboration with Faith and Order will host an international hybrid conference themed“Nicaea and its meaning for today” from 4-8 November.

Nearly 100 abstracts were received, and the planning committee selected 60, amongst them six keynote presentations for six different regions of the world and six different denominations. The 2024-2025 cohort of Bossey students will take part. The participation of 70 people in person is expected with between 50 and 100 joining online each day.

Participants will explore the intersection of Nicaea, ecumenical theological education, and faith and order perspectives. They will also have the opportunity to engage in robust academic discussions, attend plenary sessions, and contribute to panel discussions.

The First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea was held in 325 AD. This conference will delve into today’s significance of Nicaea, focusing not only on its theological heritage but also on its relevance for ecumenical theological education and ecumenical formation. By bringing together scholars and emerging ecumenists from diverse Christian traditions, conference will seek to foster a deeper understanding of Nicaea’s enduring impact on the Christian church and its ongoing relevance in a rapidly changing world.

Participants will highlight the ecumenical significance of the decisions and documents issued at Nicaea; examine the impact of Nicaea on the development of Christian doctrine, self-understanding of the church, ecumenical relations, and interfaith dialogue; and reflect on ecumenically accountable ways of approaching the outcomes of Nicaea in theological education.
