The '''Council of Nicaea''' was the first [[ecumenical council]], held in 325 CE at the behest of the [[Roman Empire|Roman Emperor]] [[Constantine]] to negotiate a compromise between the orthodox [[Trinitarianism|Trinitarians]] and the [[Arianism|Arian]] [[Heresy|heretics]]. It did not end in compromise and instead ended with the rightful denunciation of the Arians as heretics and the writing of the [[Nicene Creed]], which defined the relationship of the [[Trinity]] as one [[God]], who is three persons, the [[God the Father|Father]], the [[God the Son|Son]] and the [[Holy Spirit]].

The Trinitarians were represented by many major theologians such as [[Alexander of Alexandria|Alexander]] and [[Athanasius of Alexandria]]. The heretics were represented by the [[heresiarch]], [[Arius]]. Only three out of over three hundred of the attending bishops were opposed to the text of the Nicene Creed.

The next council was the [[Council of Constantinople]].
