The 2017 meeting of the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church, which concluded its work on Saturday, offered its evaluation of the Council of Crete that gathered representatives from 10 of the 15 Local Churches last summer and the documents it released, calling it a significant event in Orthodox history, but not pan-Orthodox.

Why is there no mention of the Trinity in the Nicene Creed? If it was written by a Synod of bishops in order to direct the young Church’s thinking, why then is there no mention of the Trinity? Is/was the Trinity less important than the other tenets laid out in the Credo?
