The Cathedral of Antioch ( Greek Σύνοδος ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ τῆς Συρία -) is a local cathedral held in 341. The cathedral was opened as ecumenical , but was not immediately recognized by representatives of the Western churches. Subsequently, only the status of the “Local Council” was recognized for him. Headed by Eusebius of Nicomedia .
At this council, the Nicene Creed was rejected and replaced, 4 symbolic formulas were recognized that condemned both the views of Arius and the teachings of Athanasius of Alexandria as heresy. The council also approved some rules, which were not basically repealed subsequently, and were cited, for example, by the fourth ecumenical council.
In 361, Emperor Julian the Apostate permitted both Arianism and the teachings of Athanasius of Alexandria. Already in 362, under the chairmanship of Athanasius, a local council of supporters of the Orthodox faith was opened, proclaiming fidelity to the Nicene Creed.
Finally, in 379, Theodosius I came to power in Byzantium, a religious defender of the teachings of Athanasius of Alexandria, according to his religious beliefs. In 381, he convenes a new Ecumenical Council in Constantinople , at which the decisions of the First Ecumenical (Nicene) Council were confirmed.
