Synod of Jassy
The Synod of Jassy or Synod of Iași (also referred to as the Council of Jassy or the Council of Iași), was convened in Iași in Moldavia (present-day Romania) between 15 September and 27 October 1642 by the Ecumenical Patriarch Parthenius I of Constantinople, with the support of the Moldavian Prince Vasile Lupu. The purpose of the synod was to counter what Eastern Orthodox considered as Protestant doctrinal errors that had entered Eastern Orthodox Christian theology, and to offer a comprehensive Eastern Orthodox statement on the content and character of the Eastern Orthodox faith.
