I don't know which is worse ...
An age when a letter took weeks or months to get from A to B ...
Or an age when a sentence took about the same time it was composed to get from C to D ...
AD 62 - First Council of Jerusalem, the only ecumenical council that's actually recorded in the Bible, one of the primary issues was the expectations from growing number of Gentiles in the church was had began with practically 100% Jewish membership ... and yeah, whether a Christian (male) got to undergo circumcision or refrain from eating pork etc.
AD 325 - First Council of Nicaea (Bithynia) was conducted to resolve the differences that had developed between the Church of Alexandria and other churches (particularly church of Rome and Constantinople). Main object of discussion - Arianism, ordaining of Meletius of Lycopolis, and what came to be adopted as the Nicene Creed.
AD 381 - First Council of Constantinople followed up with much the same issues and finally declared Arianism as heresy
AD 431 - Council of Ephesus marked the schism between Nestorianism and the other christian churches
AD 451 - Council of Chalcedon - gave birth to what is known as Oriental Orthodox church who upheld Monophysitism
AD 553 - Second Council of Constantinople, still on Monophysitism
AD 680 - Third Council of Constantinople on Monothelitism
