Home > Synod of Ancyra

 
An important ecclesiastical synod was held at

Ancyra, the seat of the Roman administration for the province of

Galatia, in 314. The season was soon after Easter; the

year may be safely deduced from the fact that the first nine canons are intended to repair havoc wreaked in the church by persecution, which ceased after the overthrow of Maximinus in

313. The tenth canon tolerates the marriages of deacons who

previous to ordination had reserved the right to take a wife; the thirteenth forbids chorepiscopi to ordain presbyters or deacons; the eighteenth safeguards the right of the people in objecting to the appointment of a bishop whom they do not wish.
