1 Jan 343 Jahr - Council of Gangra (343)

Beschreibung:

The Synod of Gangra was held in 340. The synod condemned Manichaeans, and their practices. The concluding canons of the Synod condemned the Manichaeans for their actions, and declared many of their practices anathematised.

Although merely a local synod, its decisions were later ratified by the Council of Chalcedon, which is of immense importance in the early history of Christianity, see also First seven Ecumenical Councils. Most modern Christian groups, whether Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox, accept the Council of Chalcedon's decisions, while some Eastern Christians, including the Oriental Orthodox and the Assyrians, reject it.
