The Nicene Creed at 1700

2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the first Ecumenical Council, convened at Nicaea in AD 325, a landmark moment that profoundly shaped Christian doctrine and unity. At its heart is the Nicene Creed, a declaration of faith embraced by Christians across the world.

To celebrate this enduring legacy, USPG has produced a video that features a diverse compilation of voices from around the globe declaring their belief by reciting the Creed. Among these voices are speakers of Twi, Bengali, Nyanja, Arabic, Spanish, and Welsh, alongside English spoken by believers from the Middle East, Zambia, and the Solomon Islands. Together these voices reflect the amazing linguistic and cultural diversity of the global Anglican Communion, as well as the wonderful reality of one shared faith.

This video is both a celebration of shared belief and an exploration of diversity, encouraging reflection on how this foundational text continues to shape Christian identity and foster connection across cultures and generations. It forms part of USPG’s wider work including a brand-new study guide entitled ‘We Believe: We Belong’ that encourages small-group reflection on this enduring statement of belief.

Watch now and hear the Nicene Creed like you’ve never heard it before:
