[Apologetics] Seven Ecumenical Counsels

[Stuart Gathman]

The first 7 match the 7 covered in the book.  I put "ecumenical" in 
scare-quotes, because I knew that Catholics regard all their councils as 
ecumenical (that being pretty much the definition of "catholic").  The 
Eastern Orthodox churches only recognize the first 7, and that is why 
this author calls them "ecumenical".   This is a Protestant church, and 
it is news to them that there were more than one.  So I am not going to 
push calling the remaining 14 councils "ecumenical" - although I will of 
course mention that Catholics regard them so.
