Editing Flavian of Constantinople (section)

== Home Synod of Constantinople ==
Flavian presided at a council of forty bishops at Constantinople on 8 November 448, to resolve a dispute between the metropolitan [[See of Sardis|bishop of Sardis]] and two bishops of his province. [[Eusebius of Dorylaeum]], bishop of Dorylaeum, presented an [[indictment]] against [[Eutyches]]. The speech of Flavian remains, concluding with this appeal to the bishop of Dorylaeum: "Let your reverence condescend to visit him and argue with him about the true faith, and if he shall be found in very truth to err, then he shall be called to our holy assembly and shall answer for himself". Eventually the synod deposed Eutyches.<ref name=oca>{{Cite web|url=https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2011/02/18/100556-saint-flavian-the-confessor-patriarch-of-constantinople|title=Saint Flavian the Confessor, Patriarch of Constantinople|website=www.oca.org}}</ref>
