LICHFIELD CATHEDRAL LENT SERIES 2025
1700+- The Church: One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic
2024 and 324. Two years separated in time but united in typifying dispute and division in the church.
The church has known troubles alongside joy and hope through her history, but when our repeated prayer is ‘restore to me O Lord, the joy of thy salvation,’ examining our roots and traditions has much to offer.
In 325, the Council of Nicaea first set out the creed recognisable to us today. In 381, the addition of ‘One, holy, catholic and apostolic’ completed the words which still unite us with the fourth century church whenever we utter them. Reaching deeply into such traditions can offer us fresh hope today.
Come and hear our Bishops reflecting on the challenges and gifts to today’s tremendously complex and fast-paced culture of being the ‘Church of the Nicene Creed: One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic’
