Constantine gave Christianity state patronage and saw the Church as a potential unifying force in the Empire. He knew that the Church could not unify the Empire unless it was, itself, united. He called the Council of Nicaea in order to achieve the changes he needed within the Church. He set out to impose order, create a stable hierarchy under his leadership, and obtain consensus on important issues facing the Church.
