Nicene Creed:
The Creed of the universal (catholic) Church, formulated at the Council of Nicea in AD 325, and expanded at the Second Council at Constantinople in AD 381. It is the only creed that was promulgated by any of the seven ecumenical councils and thus it is the only creed that is truly ecumenical and universal. It actually predates the selection of the canon of the Bible, and so represents a fundamental identity of Christianity, recited at the
Holy Eucharist.
Noonday Prayers: A short prayer
service held at midday, part of the Daily Office. It does not
require the presence of clergy (BCP. pp. 103ff.).
Nunc Dimittis: Literally "Now You Dismiss". The Song of Simeon (Luke 2:29-32), normally used as one of the canticles at Evening Prayer and Compline (BCP pp. 66, 120, & 135). Also used at Candlemas.
