📚 The WCC released "Towards Nicaea 2025: Exploring the Council’s Ecumenical Significance Today", a collection of essays marking the 1700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council and the formulation of the Nicene Creed.

The essays are organised around six themes: Nicaea in historical and political perspective; theology, Christology, and Trinitarian doctrine; contextual readings of Nicaea from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Indigenous communities; gender, justice, and liberation; unity, apostolicity, and ecumenical dialogue; and liturgy, common prayer, and ecology.

In his foreword, WCC general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay describes the anniversary as “an opportune time and moment to (re)capture the aspirations, intentions, and formidable actions for Christian unity.”

Rev. Dr Kuzipa Nalwamba, WCC programme director for Unity, Mission, and Ecumenical Formation, reflected that a council without mission is a museum piece. "Towards Nicaea 2025 understands that the confession of Nicaea, 'true God from true God,’ was never a formula to defend but a faith to share,” she said. “Nicaea 2025 is not just history revisited; it is unity rehearsed, mission renewed.”
