Council of Seleucia in Isauria
council · 359 · Seleucia in Isauria
At Seleucia in Isauria the Eastern bishops met under the same imperial program and split three ways before signing the same worn formula as Rimini. The paired councils mark the low-water mark of Nicene fortunes — and the moment the young Nicene party learned it would win by argument and patience, not by court favor.
The Council of Seleucia was an early Christian church synod at Seleucia Isauria.
Could one formula be found that the whole empire would sign? The eastern half of Constantius' twin council, sitting while Rimini sat in the west.
The Eastern twin of Rimini: the homoean formula imposed on a divided East.
