Third Council of Dvin


The Third Council of Dvin was a church council held in 607 in the city of Dvin. The schism within the Armenian Church which had erupted as a result of the second Chalcedonian Catholicosate in Armenia, was mended, and the Council of Chalcedon of 451 was explicitly condemned.
The synod saw the election of an Armenian, Abraham as Catholicos. Abraham condemned the Council of Chalcedon in accordance with the decision of the Second Council of Dvin. The Georgian church had however, come to support the position of the Chalcedonian Church on that Council, and this Council established the distinct split between the Armenian and Georgian Churches.
Although a rift was established with the Georgian church the Council lead to mending of a rift within the Armenian Church itself.
