After the Council of Chalcedon (451 A.D.), which defined the orthodox view of Christ’s humanity and divinity, the Church of Alexandria suffered a period of conflict between the Melkites (Chalcedonians) and the Jacobites (non-Chalcedonians), who emphasized the single divine nature of Christ). It is interesting that there is no trace of rivalry between the two doctrines in the Pentapolis (Cyrene, Apollonia, Ptolemais, Taucheira and Berenice). How, we might ask, could the Melkite - Jacobite conflict spread in Egypt, but not to its nearest neighbour in east Libya? In addressing this question, we must consider the reason for the presence of the dual orientation (eastwards and westwards) in the churches at Qasr el-Lebia or Neapolis Theodorias (a small town located about 50 miles to the west of Cyrene) and elsewhere. It seems equally plausible (without evidence or explanation by archaeologists) that the appearance of west- and east-orientated churches during this period is symptomatic of an attempted accommodation of the variant doctrines of the two groups. This theory will form the basis of this paper, which offers an introduction to the Melkite-Jacobite conflict in Egypt. It will also examine the possible effect of the conflict between the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian movements on the change of the westward orientation of churches. |
