Council of Sirmium

The Council of Sirmium was an important series of Christian meetings held in the city of Sirmium (modern-day Sremska Mitrovica) during the such as 357-358 AD. These councils addressed theological disputes within Christianity, particularly debates about the nature of Jesus Christ and the definition of heresy. The bishops gathered to ensure doctrinal unity and to combat various false teachings. Their decisions helped shape early Christian orthodoxy, influencing how the church understood Christ's divine and human natures. These councils played a key role in the development of doctrinal agreements that would influence Christianity for centuries.
