1700th Anniversary of the Council of Nicaea: Celebrating the Foundations of Christian Unity and Faith
Today, May 20, 2025, the universal Church commemorates the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaeaβa defining moment in Christian history. Convened in 325 A.D. by Emperor Constantine in the city of Nicaea (modern-day Δ°znik, Turkey), this was the first ecumenical council of the Church, bringing together over 300 bishops from across the Christian world to defend and clarify the faith in the face of growing heresies.
At the heart of the council was the challenge posed by Arianism, which denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. In response, the bishops, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, solemnly declared that Jesus Christ is βGod from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father.β This profession of faith, now known as the Nicene Creed, continues to be proclaimed by Christians throughout the world.

How Does Bitcoin Work?
Bitcoin is built on a distributed digital record called a blockchain. As the name implies, blockchain is a linked body of data, made up of units called blocks that contain information about each and every transaction, including date and time, total value, buyer and seller, and a unique identifying code for each exchange. Entries are strung together in chronological order, creating a digital chain of blocks. βOnce a block is added to the blockchain, it becomes accessible to anyone who wishes to view it, acting as a public ledger of cryptocurrency transactions,β says Stacey Harris, consultant for Pelicoin, a network of cryptocurrency ATMs. Blockchain is decentralized, which means itβs not controlled by any one organization. βItβs like a Google Doc that anyone can work on,β says Buchi Okoro, CEO and co-founder of African cryptocurrency exchange Quidax. βNobody owns it, but anyone who has a link can contribute to it. And as different people update it, your copy also gets updated.β
