		<description><![CDATA[A big thanks to Lauren for leading tonight&#8217;s discussion on church history!
Now that we&#8217;ve talked about the Council of Nicaea, here&#8217;s some more information about it. If you&#8217;re interested, take a look at the &#8220;canons&#8221; (decisions) of the council.
Castration is the first issue! And the issue of the Scriptural Canon doesn&#8217;t come up at all.
