LEGEND notes: As you "click" on the name of the Synod which you will be linked to, the following explains the references that appear after each canon: Each of the Synods, etc., has been identified with an Arabic number, bold face type.These numbers should be used as an identification of the particular Synod or Father, which will be found in references throughout the text. For example, No. 4, bold, represents the Fourth Ecumenical Synod; and No. 22, bold, represents the canons of St. Peter the Martyr. Also, the number of each canon is identified by an Arabic number, in light face type, and appears in the references. Most of the canons have references to other canons of a similar nature; the Arabic numbers in the references are used for both the Synod or Father and their canons. For instance, the reference 3, 7 (bold 3, light 7), indicates the Third Ecumenical Synod and its 7th canon. The name of the Synod or Father, and its identifying number, bold. The number of the Canons are to be found in the text.

The following are the canons issued by the Seven Ecumenical Synods. Later we shall be adding more information as indicated in the chart.
