The Concise Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church | 2000 | | Copyright

Jerusalem, Synod of (1672). A synod of the Orthodox Church held in the Basilica of the Nativity at Bethlehem (hence also known as the ‘Synod of Bethlehem’). It sought to repudiate the movement fostered by Cyril Lucar towards accommodation with Calvinism and, along with the Synod of Jassy (1642), marked the closest approximation of E. Orthodoxy to Tridentine Catholicism. In addition to doctrinal articles, it declared that 2 Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclus., the Song of the Three Children, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, and 1–3 Maccabees are to be accounted canonical.

Jerusalem, Synod of

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Copyright

Jerusalem, Synod of. A council of the Orthodox church, convened by Dositheus, patriarch of Jerusalem, in 1672 to reject Cyril Lucar's sympathy with some aspects of Calvinism. It emphasized church and sacraments, and with the Synod of Jassy (1642) it resembled the reaction to the Reformation of Tridentine Catholicism.
