About This Site

Why This Site Exists

The Chalcedonian Creed, or Definition of Chalcedon, is the Christological statement adopted at the Fourth Ecumenical Council in 451 AD, defining Christ as one person with two natures — fully divine and fully human.

The Heavenly Network, in partnership with The Christian Chain, has developed this network of Church Creed and Confession sites in order to make the historic faith of the Church clearly explained, faithfully presented, and freely accessible to every believer, student, and seeker who wants to understand what the whole Church has always believed together.

This site is a scholarly, non-denominational reference site dedicated to the study of The Chalcedonian Creed. Our mission is to make The Creed accessible, academically rigorous, and contextually explained for Christians, theology students, church leaders, and researchers worldwide.
