Councils

Early Church, were held at Antioch in A.D. 269; at Arles in 314, when three British bishops were present; at Nice in 325, when 328 Fathers of the Church attacked Arius at Constantinople in 381, at Sardis in 400, at Ephesus; in 431, at Chalcedon in 451, at Constantinople again in 552, 600, and 680, and the second at Nice in 787. Of these the four great C. were that at Nice 325, when the dogma respecting the Son of God was Cowper, settled that at Constantinople in 381, when the dogma; respecting the Holy Ghost was settled and those at Ephesus and Chalcedon, when the dogma; about union of the divine and human in Christ was settled.
