COUNCIL OF SELEUCIA-CTESIPHON: Under Mar Acacius, 586 AD

Mar Acacius, Catholicos of the East

This ecumenical council of the Persian church had only three canons, but it sought to reform issues specifically with the clergy and the prohibition of marrying multiple women. This would be the largest gathering of bishops in the Persian church since the Council of Markabta some fifty years earlier and would continue to establish the primacy of the patriarchal see in Seleucia, under the sanction of the Sasanian Emperor.
