Hi,

I am just reading over the history of the Council of Nicea and I see that they established 20 canons. I see that they broken the canons in sections;

1) Church Structure
2) Dignity of the Clergy
3) Reconciliation or acceptance of those who denied the faith during persecutions
4) Reconciliation or readmission of heretics and schematics
5) Liturgical matters

Do you know where I can find a brief summary that describe the categories?

Agape,

The canons aren't long, so I guess it's best to read them as they are. You can find them here:
