What was Constantine's approach to church unity?
The harmony of the brethren is paramount for the stability of the empire. My involvement in matters of church doctrine, such as the Donatist Controversy, stemmed from a deep conviction that religious disunity fractured the very fabric of Roman society. The 'peace of the church is the peace of the state.' I convened the Council of Nicaea to resolve theological disputes, aiming to establish a clear and unified expression of Christian faith. To allow division and discord within the Church would be to invite chaos into the imperial order, undermining the very strength and prosperity I strived to achieve.
