The Nicaea Centenary & Creation Day: 2nd Ecumenical Conference on the New Liturgical Feast

The World Council of Churches, together with the Anglican Communion, Lutheran World Federation, World Communion of Reformed Churches, World Methodist Council, and Middle East Council of Churches, is organizing an ecumenical conference that will continue the historic conversation begun in March 2024 about establishing "Creation Day" (1 September) as a liturgical feast/festival in Western denominations.

An abstract representation of Earth and stars, showcasing vivid colors and a cosmic theme.

The event will explore the potential of this celebration in light of the 1700th anniversary of Nicaea, grounding discussions in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed's proclamation of our faith in the Triune God as Creator. The conference will also be enriched by the 800th anniversary celebrations of the Franciscan "Canticle of the Creatures" in Assisi.
