In this 13th episode of Church History, Pastor Lance takes us on a study of Early Church leadership, and how it formed and re-formed over the early centuries. Ignatius of Antioch, Hegesippus, and others are carefully considered, as well as Hippolytus and Callistus's infamous debates. We look at the disputed calculation and celebration of Easter, and we learn of a sect of "Quartadecimanians" who would be dealt with at the future Council of Nicaea.
