First Council of Nicaea where, as you know, they discussed and debated issues of faith and its practice. It is remarkable to me how often the people aware of this and other concillear events in history and able to have discussions about them and contemporary issues of religious faith and practice are scorned by some church going folk who know little about how their tradition evolved and see faith as static and not dynamic. For those folks, any question about any topic is an abomination. If these sorts had been calling the shots the Nicaea (or any other) Council would have never transpired.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
