Theology & Dogma

Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed

The definitive statement of Orthodox faith, formulated at the First (325) and Second (381) Ecumenical Councils. Recited at every Divine Liturgy. Affirms: one God, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Second Coming, one holy catholic and apostolic Church, one baptism, and the life of the age to come.
