Council of Auxerre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Councils of Auxerre were local church councils held in the Ancient Diocese of Auxerre.

First Council of Auxerre

[edit]

The first Council of Auxerre was held in 585 (or 578) by St. Annacharius.[1] It formulated forty-five canons, closely related in context to canons of the contemporary Council of Lyon and Third Council of Mâcon.

Second Council of Auxerre

[edit]

The second Council of Auxerre was presumably the last Frankish council before the 742/3 Concilium Germanicum.[2] Its canons are concerned chiefly with the Divine Office and ecclesiastical ceremonies.
