1700 years ago, an unprecedented council of early Christian bishops gathered at Nicaea, not far from present-day Istanbul. The council had been convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine to address a theological dispute, a schism amongst early Christians that threatened to explode across the empire. Constantine wanted it sorted.
