This text describes the proceedings of a synod that was convened against Saint John Chrysostom, characterized by bias and hostility from its members. The synod comprised various bishops who acted as judges and accusers simultaneously. A total of twenty-nine charges were leveled against Chrysostom, ranging from personal grievances to serious allegations of misconduct. Despite his refusal to attend the synod unless his enemies were removed from the judging panel, the bishops ultimately voted for his deposition. The text illustrates the political and ecclesiastical tensions of the time, highlighting the challenges faced by Chrysostom.
