Lucar, Cyril
Lucar, Cyril (1570–1638), Patr. of Alexandria (1601–20) and then of Constantinople (from 1620). His presence at the Synod of Brest-Litovsk in 1596 had turned him against the RC Church and the Jesuits, and he became increasingly friendly towards the Calvinists and the C of E. He presented the Codex Alexandrinus to Charles I in 1628. In 1629 a Confessio Fidei, with his signature, was published at Geneva; this reinterprets traditional Orthodox faith in Calvinistic terms. He was put to death on a charge of inciting the Cossacks against the Turkish government. His teaching was condemned by various later synods.

Lucar, Cyril
Lucar, Cyril (1572–1638). Patriarch of Constantinople from 1620. His earlier experiences in church politics had turned him against Rome, and in correspondence with Dutch theologians he expressed more and more sympathy with the Reformed churches. His Confession of Faith published in Geneva in 1629 was an attempt to strengthen the Orthodox Church against Romanizing tendencies and bring it into dialogue with other Churches. His theology was finally condemned at the Synod of Jerusalem (1672).
