The Council at Nicaea was convened and chaired by Emperor Constantine in 325 CE.

Socrates says that the reason they objected was because of the term homoousios, which means "one substance." The objection would have been because this term is not found in Scripture and thus should not be part of an official creed of the Church.
The chief results of the Council were the Nicene Creed and a list of 20 canons (rules), primarily concerning rules for the clergy, but also addressed the date of Easter (then still called Passover) and punishments for joining the military.

The Apostle's Creed is a short version of the Nicene Creed.
