Leo the Great is best known for his contribution to the fourth ecumenical Council at Chalcedon. But his experience with synods is much broader and deeper. This talk will present Leo’s involvement in synods, with a particular emphasis on how this relates to his role as Roman pope and to leadership in the church.
