Church and mission 10/28 The empire and the church

Constantine called for all the councils in order to regulate the faith throughout the empire. He could not afford to have division between the one thing that consolidated his empire: Christianity. The councils helped to establish our now orthodox views on Christian doctrine but the councils were not initiated by the church. It was the emperor who gathered the bishops together not because of a pure love for God but for pure love of empire. Does that discredit the creeds and theology that came from the councils?
