TTC Holds a Filioque<\/em> Forum<\/h2>\n

2025 marks the 1,700th anniversary of the <\/span>Nicene Creed. A phrase in the creed, \u201cand the Son\u201d or filioque<\/em> in Latin, was what eventually led to the separation of the East from the West and it <\/span>remains a contentious issue between the Eastern and Western churches to this day. TTC held a<\/span> Filioque Forum on Tue 23 Sep 2025 with two theologians invited to present the two positions: Rev Dr Philip Calington representing the Eastern view and Rev Fr Gerard Louis representing the Western view. Students from St Francis Xavier Major Seminary and their lecturers were also invited to listen and ask questions together with the students and faculty of TTC.<\/p>\n

TTC wishes to thank all who had participated in the forum. Special thanks is due to our two guest theologians for clearly explaining their views in a spirit of dialogue and charity.<\/p>\n

The Filioque Forum was very helpful in broadening my understanding of a historically divisive issue. Hearing both sides present their positions allowed me to appreciate not only the theological nuances but also the underlying pastoral and ecclesial concerns.<\/em><\/p>\n

What stood out most was the respectful dialogue, where conviction was expressed with charity. Both Father Gerard and Father Phillip carried a posture of humility. It was eye-opening to see how theological debates, though complex, are opportunities for deeper unity in Christ when engaged with this posture.<\/em><\/p>\n

I also valued the opportunity to interact with seminarians from the St Francis Xavier Major Seminary. This made the discussion less abstract and more relational, reminding me that theology ultimately serves fellowship in the Body of Christ.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Filioque Forum offered a profound exchange between Catholic and Orthodox perspectives. I was enriched not only by the theological nuances of the Spirit\u2019s procession, but also by the historical contexts, pastoral ramifications, and ecumenical sensitivities tied in this enduring discourse. For me, as a student of theology, its occurrence in the year marking the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea made it especially significant. A reminder of the Church\u2019s long and contemplative journey through the mysteries of faith. Most striking was the spirit of dialogue, which was measured, respectful, and earnest. I am deeply grateful to Trinity Theological College for hosting such a formative event.<\/em><\/p>\n
