Many centuries ago, the leaders of the worldwide Christian church met together to settle some important theological disputes. Over two such meetings, they wrote a statement of faith, which we call the “Nicene Creed.” It’s “Nicene” because most of it was written in a resort town called Nicaea, which is in modern day Turkey. It’s called a “creed” because, in Latin, the first word of the Creed is credo, which means “I believe.”
