Church of the Arians (Bishopric of the Arians)

The Church of the Arians, also known as the Bishopric of the Arians, refers to a Christian community primarily associated with the followers of Arianism, a theological belief proposed by Arius in the 4th century. Arians argued that Jesus Christ was a divine being created by God and not fully divine himself, challenging the orthodox view of the Trinity. Although formally condemned by the mainstream Christian church, Arianism gained significant support at times, especially among certain regional churches and tribal groups. The term highlights a distinct church identity centered around these theological differences during early Christian history.
