4. Council of Constantinople (381 AD) (The First Council)
(1) The Council of Constantinople
When Theodosius became emperor in the East, he was staunchly Nicene in his belief and resolved to deal with Arianism once and for all. To this end he called a council, which met at Constantinople from May to July 381. Gregory of Nazianzus played a leading role, although it ended his career as a bishop.
The heresies which the Cappadocians had fought were rejected at the council, and their teaching prevailed. In this council, the creed today known as
the Nicene Creed was produced. As with the creed of the Council of Nicaea, it became to be a local Eastern creed with polemic additions:
We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one substance [homoosios] with the Father. By him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven was made flesh from the Holy spirit and Mary the virgin and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. He rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heaven. He sits on the right hand of the Father and will co me again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will not end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and the Son and life-giver, who proceeds from the Father. Together with the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets; And in one holy Catholic and apostolic church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the ages to come. Amen.
