The Synod of Ancyra was an ecclesiastical council, or synod, convened in Ancyra (modern day Ankara, the capital of Turkey), the seat of the Roman administration for the province of Galatia, in 314. The season was soon after Easter; the year may be safely deduced from the fact that the first nine canons are intended to repair havoc wreaked in the church by persecution, which ceased after the overthrow of Maximinus in 313.
The tenth canon tolerates the marriages of deacons who previous to ordination had reserved the right to take a wife.
The thirteenth forbids chorepiscopi to ordain presbyters or deacons.
The eighteenth safeguards the right of the people in objecting to the appointment of a bishop whom they do not wish.
Canon XXII: Concerning wilful murderers let them remain prostrators; but at the end of life let them be indulged with full communion.
