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.

For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders.

TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but itβs hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
