Episode 158 • ninth October 2025 • The Dwelling Church
How does Nicaea communicate to social and political life in the present day?
In case you hadn’t observed, it’s Nicaea’s 1700th celebration all 12 months lengthy. Theology, church politics, Christian unity, we’re right here for all of it.
That is certainly one of two episodes this 12 months focusing particularly on Nicaea itself. Our first one was in January: Studying from Nicaea with Lewis Ayers.
Immediately, we’ll learn the way we stay with Nicaea. We’re joined by Catholic theologian Peter Casarella and Pentecostal theologian Daniela Augustine for an ecumenical chat concerning the council and its significance for the church and world in the present day.
We’ll think about time journey, uncover issues about Nicaea you may by no means have recognized, discover political and social implications of the council, and make 1700th birthday speeches. And in case you ever requested your self what Nicaea has to do with the Bolshevik Revolution or American empire, in the present day’s your fortunate day.
Dr. Daniela Augustine is Professor of Theological Ethics at Lee College and Honorary Senior Analysis Fellow in Philosophy, Theology, and Faith on the College of Birmingham within the UK.
Dr. Peter Casarella is Professor of Theology at Duke Divinity College and one of many founders of the Catholic Initiative at Duke.
Now, whether or not you’ve been at this social gathering a very long time, or simply coming in and questioning what it’s all about, we hope you benefit from the dialog.
