Saint Athanasius: Selected Works and Letters (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Series 2, Vol 4) QUOTES

1 " The Council of Nicæa. An ecumenical council was a new experiment. Local councils had long since grown to be a recognised organ of the Church both for legislation and for judicial proceedings. But no precedent as yet prescribed, no ecclesiastical law or theological principle had as yet enthroned, the ‘General Council’ as the supreme expression of the Church’s mind. "
