Nikæan Club
The Nikæan Club was established in 1926 to support the ecumenical ministry of the Archbishop of Canterbury. History The club was founded by Canon John Albert Douglas, a major figure in Anglican–Orthodox relations in the 20th century. In 1905, with his brother, the Revd Charles Edward Douglas, he founded the Society of the Faith, which supported the Nikæan Club financially in its early years. The club owes its origin to the celebration in London to mark the sixteenth centenary of the First Ecumenical Council of the Christian Church held in Nicæa in 325. The club has almost 400 members. Each successive Archbishop of Canterbury has been president since the club began. The club holds an annual dinner in York in honour of the General Synod’s ecumenical representatives and guests. Other dinners are usually held in Lambeth Palace. Notable members in the years after the Second World War included such figures as John Betjeman, Rose Macaulay, Osbert Lancaster and Dorothy L.

Christian Organizations Established In 1926
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term ''mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the Ame ...
