Editing Anomoeanism (section)

==Overview==
The word ''anomoean'' comes from [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|ἀ(ν)-}} (''an-'') 'not' and {{lang|grc|ὅμοιος}} (''homoios'') 'similar', thus 'different; dissimilar'. In the 4th century, during the reign of [[Constantius II]], this was the name by which the followers of [[Aëtius (theologian)|Aëtius]] and [[Eunomius]] were described. The term ''heterousian'' derives from [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|ἑτεροούσιος}}, ''heterooúsios'' 'differing in substance' from {{lang|grc|ἕτερος}}, ''héteros'' 'another' and {{lang|grc|οὐσία}}, ''ousía'' 'substance, being'.

The semi-Arians condemned the Anomoeans in the [[Council of Seleucia]], and the Anomoeans condemned the semi-Arians in their turn in the Councils of [[Council of Constantinople (360)|Constantinople]] and [[Synods of Antioch|Antioch]]; erasing the word {{lang|grc|ὅμοιος}} (''homoios'') from the formula of [[Council of Rimini|Rimini]] and that of Constantinople and protesting that the Word had not only a different substance but also a will different from that of the Father. From that, they were to be called {{lang|grc|ἀνόμοιοι}}  (''anomoioi'').

In the 5th century, the Anomoean presbyter [[Philostorgius]] wrote an Anomoean church history.<ref>Philostorgius, ''Church History''.</ref>
