The '''First Council of [[Constantinople]]''' ("Constantinople I") was called by Emperor [[Theodosius]] in A.D. 381 to combat the [[Arian]] heresy, which had not ended after being condemned at the [[Council of Nicaea]]; and also to combat the heresy of the Macedonians, who denied the divinity of the [[Holy Spirit]].

150 bishops attended.  They reaffirmed and expanded the [[Nicene Creed]] to the version currently known, affirming the equal divinity of all three Persons of the [[Trinity]].

They also wrote seven canons concerning church order.  All seven are accepted by the [[Eastern Orthodox]] Church; only the first four are accepted by [[Roman Catholic]]s.

# "The [[Nicene Creed|profession of faith of the holy fathers who gathered in Nicaea]]... is to remain in force. Every heresy is to be anathematised..."
 
−
# "Diocesan bishops are not to intrude in churches beyond their own boundaries..."

# "Because it is new Rome, the bishop of Constantinople is to enjoy the privileges of honour after the bishop of Rome."  This canon provoked much controversy later when popes attempted to use it to prove papal supremacy.

# "Maximus the Cynic... never became, nor is he, a bishop... Everything that was done both to him and by him is to be held invalid."

# "Regarding the Tome of the Westerns..." ''(Unfortunately, this tome has been lost.)''
 
−
# Only orthodox Christians are allowed to bring accusations against bishops, and then only before the other bishops of the province or diocese.
 
−
# Certain heretics are to be received immediately upon confession of their errors; others must be [[Baptism|rebaptized]] after following through the regular process.

At the conclusion of the council, Emperor Theodosius declared that all bishops must confess the equal divinity of all three Persons of the [[Trinity]] and be in communion with certain of the bishops who attended.
