First Synod Of Tyre
The First Synod of Tyre or the Council of Tyre (335 AD) was a gathering of bishops called together at Tyre by Emperor Constantine I for the primary purpose of evaluating charges brought against Athanasius, the Patriarch of Alexandria, who was deposed by the council. Background Athanasius was involved in the early Christian christological and trinitarian debates, and supported the position of the Council of Nicaea in opposition to that of Arius and his followers. In 328, Athanasius was elected as bishop or patriarch of Alexandria. Alexandria happened to be the city in which Arius was a priest. Opponents of Athanasius tried to prevent him from becoming bishop by alleging that he had not been elected properly, or that Athanasius had not yet reached the age of 30, which was the minimum age for bishops in the church; at Tyre, they alleged that he had facilitated his election through bribery.
