Re: List of Universally Accepted Authoritative Synods After the Seven Ecumenical Councils

Re: List of Universally Accepted Authoritative Synods After the Seven Ecumenical Councils

Benjamin, The Lord's blessing! I fear you are falling into the trap of the west and seeking to arrange by logic and rational inquiry those things which are of God.
