Council of Chalcedon
The
Council of Chalcedon took place from
October 8 -
November 1,
451 A.D at
Chalcedon, a city of
Bithynia in
Asia Minor. It is the fourth of the first seven
Ecumenical Councils in
Christianity, and is therefore recognized as infallible in its dogmatic definitions by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. It set forth the
Chalcedonian Creed, which describes the full humanity and full divinity of
Jesus Christ, the second person of the
Holy Trinity.
