	Abortion and the Early Christian Church
		During the Quinisext council several older councils and many older canons of individual church leaders were approved for church wide use, where formerly their binding power was limited to the jurisdiction of the church leader.
		Considering the character of the council and the contents of earlier writings that have been approved during the council in Trullo, we may safely conclude that it was seen as murder.
		The lenity shown in the council of Ancyra is related to the reconciling character of the council.

		This council is important because it shows the development of Christianity in an interior city in Asia Minor.
		We can be questioned for mentioning this minor council in such a summaric treatment of Church History, however, this council is refreshing because it is completely devoid of that imperial initiation, help, or approval, which will characterize other church councils in this century particularly in the East.
		The council's agenda which took place here in 314 is of less importance than the fact that it took place at all.

	History of the European Witchhunts by Glenn Weiser, Metroland, Oct 25, 2002
		The council, however, soberly dismissed these assertions as products of dreams and officially dismissed them as illusory, thus impeding the persecution of witches for centuries to come.
		In his classic 1958 study Witchcraft, British scholar Geoffrey Parrinder suggests that some of these claims, a common thread in the confessions of witches, could have been inspired by the use of the hallucinogen belladonna, and that flying dreams without the use of drugs are not unusual anyway.
		The Council of Ancyra's decree holding that there was no such thing as night-riding and nocturnal congregations of witches stood in the Inquisition's way, though.

		Soon after the death of the Emperor Maximin,(1) a council was held at Ancyra, the capital of Galatia.
		The disciplinary decrees of this council possess a singular interest as being the first enacted after the ceasing of the persecution of the Christians and as providing for the proper treatment of the lapsed.
		It is greatly to be desired that bishops and pastors to-day would take example from the fathers of Ancyra and devote their attention strenuously to eliminate superstition from the people, and would expound with animation to the people the enormity of this crime.

	Saint Making
		It is then to the episcopate, assembled in ecumenical council, and to its chief, that the function of legislating for the whole Church belongs; the inferior authorities, local councils or isolated bishops and prelates, can only make special laws or statutes, valid only for that part of the Church under their jurisdiction.
		Strangely enough, those documents which bear the greatest resemblance to a small collection of canonical regulations, such as the Didache, the Didascalia and the Canons of Hippolytus, have not been retained, and find no place in the collections of canons, doubtless for the reason that they were not official documents.
		The first ~t~~iOn example seems to be that of the province of Pontus, where after the twenty canons of Nicaea were placed the twentyfive canons of the council of Ancyra (314), and the fifteen of that of Neocaesarea (315—320).
