Council
Antioch synods
about 264–268 · Antioch
Attested. A deposition is secure. The number of sessions and the exact theological formulas are known only from later summaries.
Convened by. Neighboring bishops, examining their colleague Paul of Samosata
Issues. Paul's teaching about Christ and his conduct as bishop, including complaints that he behaved like a civic official.
Outcomes. Paul was deposed. The surviving reports are hostile and do not preserve his own defense. The episode shows bishops already gathering to judge doctrine and office before Constantine.
Canons or creeds. No ecumenical creed came from these synods.
