The 2025 Laishley Lecture: Prof. Karen Kilby. Thursday 1st May, 7pm

'Tradition v Change? The Creed of Nicaea and the Development of Doctrine'.

Does faith change or does it stay the same ? In this year's Laishley lecture, on the 1700th anniversary of the first Ecumenical Council of Nicaea, Professor Karen Kilby, Bede Professor for Catholic Theology at the University of Durham and director of the Centre for Catholic Studies will explore the council, the creed and the question of development of doctrine.
