Synod of Jerusalem

The Synod of Jerusalem, held in 1672, was a formal gathering of Orthodox Christian bishops and leaders to address theological disputes and clarify church beliefs. It primarily focused on affirming the authority of the Holy Scriptures and proper practices for church discipline, aiming to unite the church’s teachings against certain reformist influences. The synod played a significant role in defining Orthodox doctrine and maintaining theological consistency within the church, especially in the context of ongoing debates about faith and practice in the Eastern Christian tradition.
