Psalms 33:6

Developing thought, developing doctrine

The doctrine of the Trinity was discovered, not invented, as the early church encountered the Father through the Son in the Spirit. Rooted in Scripture and clarified by the early church councils, Trinitarian teaching protected true worship from distortion. That same clarity enables Christians today to speak with Muslim neighbours confidently and lovingly, making the triune God known through faithful teaching, everyday language, and caring mission in diverse modern cities.
