Salzburg celebrates 1,700 years of Nicea: Lectures illuminate the meaning!
The Catholic theological Faculty of the University of Salzburg celebrates the impressive anniversary of 1,700 years since Nicea's first ecumenical council with an exciting series of lectures. From next week, starting on March 11th, several experts will illuminate the central role of the Council for Christian teaching and practice. As the Kathpress reports, topics such as the question "Who is Jesus Christ?" And explores the legal framework of faith that are connected to the first Nicänum. Dean Prof. Dietmar Winkler emphasizes that the relevance of the council is still of great importance today, since it formulated decisive dogmatic guidelines and convictions that have a lasting impact on church history.
diverse events for the Nicäa anniversary
March 11th will be devoted to the Christological questions that address current challenges, while on April 8, the Graz ecumenist Prof. Bert Groen deals with the topic "Nicäa, the common Easter date and today's liturgy". On May 5, the 98-year-old Benedictine monk Br. David Steindl-Rast will give personal insights into the subject of "Credo-The Trinitarian Picture of a Mystic". Further lectures will deal with the convictions of the council and the role of the state and church, which is discussed by Florian Welzig on June 17th.
Likewise, as part of the anniversary, the anniversary meeting of the Catholic church historians will take place in German in Salzburg, which deals intensively with the reception history and the historical effects of the council. This conference will take place on June 20 and 21 in the St. Peter Arbody. Numerous events on the subject of Nicea are also planned across Germany, including a comprehensive symposium and ecumenical services that address the long history of Christian unity. These range from the first ecumenical conference to current questions of faith and the parish, as can be found in the program, which, among other things, ends on June 19 with the Panorthodox liturgy in Trier, as the AGKG reveals.
