The Second Council of Dvin was a church Synod or ecumenical Council held in the city of Dvin, Armenia during 554.[1][2]
Dvin was the capital city of the Arminian Kingdom at the time, so it was a logical location for the Arminian crown to hold a Council to discuss a growing disquiet brewing among Arminian bishops at the recently convened Council of Chalcedon.
The Second Council of Dvin was called by Catholicos Nerses II of Bagrevand,[3] and the bishops rejected the cannons of Chalcedon. This was significant as it was the moment where the Armenian church rejected the dyophysite formula that had been adopted by the majority of Christendom at the Council of Chalcedon.
Impact of the Council
This rejection marks the point of separation between the Armenian Apostolic Church and Oriental Orthodoxy more generally from the Eastern Orthodox Churches of Byzantium and the Roman Catholic Church.[4][5][6][7]
The Council also marks the beginning of the Armenian Church Calendar,[8] and also established various administration and conduct rules and regulations for members of the Armenian Church.[9]
