council · 315 · Neocaesarea
The bishops of Pontus and neighboring provinces, meeting at Neocaesarea shortly after Ancyra, left canons on marriage, on the age and conduct of presbyters, and on catechumens — unglamorous rules that show a church expecting to live in ordinary time, not the end of days.
The Synod of Neo-Caesarea was a church synod held in Neocaesarea, Pontus, shortly after the Synod of Ancyra, probably about 314 or 315.
Household discipline for a church settling in for the long haul.
