It is also called an ecumenical council or general council. The first council was held in Nicaea ( present day Inzik) in Turkey in 325 AD. The main issue Constantine wanted to settle was the issue of the relation between Jesus Christ and God. It was decided They were One and the same. Constantine wanted to establish universal agreement about it. Before that there had been many local councils but never a worldwide council. The known world then was the Roman empire.
