| Summary: | In the years 392–394, a schism led by a certain Maximian shook the Donatist church, the rival of the Catholic imperial church in Roman North Africa. This schism no doubt contributed to the weakening of Donatism. The extant reports and documents stemming from the opposing councils in Cebarsussa and Bagai which concern themselves with Maximianism, in particular, provide us with a glimpse into the procedures of the ancient African councils. Of particular interest here is the issue of conciliar consensus. Despite frequent and longlasting disagreements, both before and after the councils the African Christian tradition in their sparse documentation boasted of conciliar unaminity. This fact is best explained by the strong position of the council chairman and by his selection of those in attendance. |
