Come and join us tomorrow, Wednesday 28 February, for Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary at 10.00 a.m., as we celebrate the life of St Hilary (born in Sardinia, Italy - died 29 February 468 AD). A council was convened in Ephesus in 449 AD by the Emperor Theodosius to uphold a monophysite called Eutyches who held that the human aspect of Jesus' nature was subsumed by his divinity. This doctrine had been opposed by St Flavian who upheld the doctrine of the two natures, human and divine, in Christ. St Hilary supported St Flavian, and then fled to Rome, where in 461 AD he was elected successor to Pope Leo I. He was reputed to be a very wise Pope, correcting abuses and solving disputes between different tribes, and held the first recorded Synod in 465 AD.
