By far the most important of the many synods held at Jerusalem (see Wetzer and Welte, Kirchenlexikon, 2nd ed., vi. 1357 sqq.) is that of 1672; and its See also:confession is the most vital statement of faiTh made in the See also:Greek See also:- CHURCH

Church during the past thousand years.It refutes See also:article by article the confession of See also:Cyril See also:Lucaris, which appeared in Latin at See also:Geneva in 1629, and in Greek, with the addition of four " questions," in 1633. Lucaris, who died in 1638 as See also:patriarch of See also:Constantinople, had corresponded with Western scholars and had imbibed Calvinistic views. The See also:great opposition which arose during his lifetime continued after his See also:death, and found classic expression in the highly venerated confession of Petrus Mogilas, See also:metropolitan of See also:Kiev (1643). Though this was intended as a barrier against Calvinistic influences, certain Reformed writers, as well as See also:Roman Catholics, persisted in claiming the support of the Greek Church for sundry of their own positions. Against the Calvinists the synod of 1672 therefore aimed its rejection of unconditional See also:predestination and of See also:justification by faith alone, also its advocacy of what are substantially the Roman doctrines of See also:transubstantiation and of See also:purgatory; the See also:Oriental hostility to Calvinism had been fanned by the See also:Jesuits. Against the Church of See also:Rome, however, there was directed the See also:affirmation that the See also:Holy See also:Ghost proceeds from the See also:Father and not from both Father and Son; this rejection of the filioque was not unwelcome to the See also:Turks. Curiously enough, the synod re-fused to believe that the heretical confession it refuted. was actually by a former patriarch of Constantinople; yet the proofs of its genuineness seem to most scholars overwhelming. In negotiations between See also:Anglican and See also:Russian churchmen the confession of Dositheus' usually comes to the front.
