The [[heresy]] of Arianism was causing intense controversy, and Constantine wanted to bring about peace. Essentially, the followers of [[Arius]] said that Christ was created by God the Father and that &quot;there was a time when he was not.&quot; <br /> <br /> Another result of the council was an agreement by all the Churches, through the agreement of their bishops, to celebrate [[Easter]] on the same day. As by far the most important feast of the Church's life, it was thought important for all to celebrate the [[Resurrection]] together.<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> <br /> {{returnto}} [[Ecumenical Council]]</div>
