SYNOD OF ANCYRA

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 954 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
SYNOD OF ANCYRA .An important ecclesiastical synod was held at
Ancyra
 , the seat of the Roman administration for the province of
Galatia
 , in A.D. 314. The season was soon of ter Easter; the year may be safely deduced from the fact that the first nine canons are intended to repair havoc wrought 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.
See Mansi, ii. 514 if. The
critical
  text of R. B. Rackham (
Oxford
 , 1891), Studies biblica et ecclesiastica, iii. 139 if., is conveniently re-printed in Lauchert 29 if. H. R. Percival translates and comments on an old text in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (2nd
series
 ), xiv. 61 if. An elaborate discussion is found in Hefele, Conciliengeschichte (2nd ed.), i. 219 if. (English
translation
 , i. 199 ff.); more briefly in
Herzog
 -Hauck (3rd ed.), i. 497. For full titles see COUNCIL. (W. W. R.#)
