The Procession of the Spirit

In this episode of Ask the Church, we unpack one of the most debated lines in the Nicene Creed: “who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Why did the Western Church add “and the Son”? Why do Eastern Christians omit it? And what does it tell us about the dynamic life of the Trinity?In the next five minutes, we'll discuss: - The biblical basis for the Spirit’s procession (John 15:26)- How the concepts of “eternal source,” “eternal begetting,” and “eternal procession” help us understand the three Persons of the Trinity- The history and impact of the Filioque controversy and the Great Schism- Anglican flexibility in confessing or omitting the “and the Son” (Filioque) clause📩 Have a question for a future episode?
