		In Christianity, an ecumenical council or general council is a meeting of the bishops of the whole church convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice.
		Council of Siena, (1423–1424) de-listed as the result was later branded a heresy; is the high point of conciliarism, emphasizing the leadership of the bishops gathered in council.
		Council of Trent, (1545–1563, discontinuously); response to the challenges of Calvinism and Lutheranism to the Catholic Church, mainly by calling for introduction of a Catholic Catechism, imposition of uniformity in the liturgy of the Roman Rite (the "Tridentine Mass"), clearly defined Biblical canon.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Council of Trent
		Its main object was the definitive determination of the doctrines of the Church in answer to the heresies of the Protestants; a further object was the execution of a thorough reform of the inner life of the Church by removing the numerous abuses that had developed in it.
		The legates proposed to the general congregation as the subject-matter for the following session, the doctrine of the Church as to the sacraments, and for the disciplinary question a series of ordinances respecting both the appointment and official activities of bishops, and on ecclesiastical benefices.
		The thirteenth session was held on 11 Oct., 1551; it promulgated a comprehensive decree on the Sacrament of the Eucharist (in eight chapters and eleven canons) and also a decree on reform (in eight chapters) in regard to the supervision to be exercised by bishops, and on episcopal jurisdiction.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Council of Vienne (1311-12)
		The Bull was sent to the kings of the respective Christian countries and to the archbishops of the various church provinces.
		The council, however, could not open at the appointed time, on account of the trials of the Templars which were begun in the various countries, and the process respecting Boniface VIII which Clement V had undertaken at the appeal of the French king Philip the Fair.
		On 3 April the second formal session of the council was held; the French king and his three sons were present, and the decision respecting the suppression of the Templars was promulgated.

	A History of the General Councils - AD 325 through AD 1870 - Mgr. Philip Hughes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The history of the General Councils of the Church is a fascinating subject, and to those unfamiliar with the history of the Church a subject which bristles with difficulties of all kinds.
		General Councils are frequent in some ages, and in others the centuries go by without a single one.
		But in no council has it been moved that the bishop of X be promoted to the place of the Bishop of Rome, or that the Bishop of Rome's views be disregarded, and held of no more account than those of the bishop of any other major see.

	A History of the General Councils - AD 325 through AD 1870 - Mgr. Philip Hughes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Actually, the working time of the Council of Trent--to anticipate the story--was to amount to four and a half years; the constant hard work of the bishops and theologians who attended would produce a mass of decrees and canons exceeding in volume the whole of the legislation of all the previous eighteen General Councils.
		In 1547 the cause was the outbreak of the plague at Trent.
		But among these surely is, also, the change by which the council abolished the age-long right of metropolitans (archbishops) to make the visitation of all the sees of the bishops of their province, the local bishop's jurisdiction suspended the meanwhile, and the archbishop correcting what he found amiss and ordering the penalties this called for.

	UVA General Faculty Council
		When the University initially articulated differences between general and track teaching faculty, it was decided that general faculty teach more courses to qualify for full time than track faculty because general faculty did not have the same research obligations as track faculty.

		Resolution: The General Faculty Council urges the University of Virginia administration to pursue salary increases for administrative and professional faculty equal to those enjoyed by their fellow faculty members, regardless of the funding source.

	General Assembly Council affirms Jesus alone is Savior statement - 9/30/01
		There appeared to be only two to four negative voice votes among about 65 voting council members in response to a theological statement titled "Hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ." The Office of Theology and Worship of the Presbyterian Church (USA) prepared the statement in response to a directive from the 2001 General Assembly.
		Both the 2001 General Assembly and the General Assembly Council had adopted statements describing Christ as "our" Lord and Savior -- which left room for pluralists to assert that there were valid paths to God other than Jesus' own claim: "I am the way, the truth and the life.
		The 2002 General Assembly will have to decide next year whether the Office and Theology statement supplants what commissioners voted for during their annual meeting in Louisville in June.

	General Council For Indian Territory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		For many years, various Federal officials urged the five tribes to agree to the establishment of a Territorial Council to be composed of delegates from each tribe empowered to enact legislation of a general character for the whole territory.
		The several tribes were inclined to regard the proposition with suspicion, apparently fearing that it might result in their losing some of their tribal rights and authority, or that it might be an attempt upon the part of the Government to cajole them into an agreement to abolish their tribal governments.
		Up to 1875, the Government had paid out $66,500 as expenses of the delegates to the general council meetings, but during its five annual sessions not a single act of legislation was passed.
