Councils of N%C3%AEmes
The Councils of Nîmes (Latin: Concilia Nemausensia) is the name given to a series of four religious synods that took place in Nîmes, southern France, during the Middle Ages.[1]
The four councils took place in 394, 886, 1096, and 1284.[1]
- The First Council of 394 (referred to by Sulpicius Severus) resulted in the adoption of seven canons on church discipline,[1] including the forbidding of female deaconesses.
- The Second Council of 886 is considered to be of little historical importance.[1]
- The Third Council of July 1096 was presided over by Pope Urban II, and resulted in the adoption of sixteen disciplinary canons.[1]
- The Fourth Council of 1284 is considered to be of little historical importance.[1]
