Wikipedia extract
The Nicene Creed is the original statement of belief of Nicene Christianity, including the many Christian denominations that adhere to it. The original version was adopted at the First Council of Nicaea in 325. According to the traditional view, forwarded by the Council of Chalcedon of 451, the Creed was amended in 381 by the First Council of Constantinople as "consonant to the holy and great Synod of Nice". Further, a creed "almost identical in form" was used as early as 374 by St. Epiphanius of Salamis. The amended form is also known as the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed.
