Council of Toledo

The Council of Toledo refers to a series of ecclesiastical gatherings held in Toledo, Spain, from the 4th to the 7th centuries. These councils were important for addressing key issues in the Christian Church, especially concerning the relationship between the Church and the state, as well as theological disputes, including the Arian controversy—debates over the nature of Christ. The councils also established church laws and reinforced the authority of bishops. The outcomes influenced the development of Christianity in Spain and helped shape the Church's role in political matters during this transformative period in European history.
