I propose that Ancient church councils (pre-ecumenical ) be merged into Ecumenical council. As described in Wikipedia:Merging#Reasons_for_merger, the two pages have significant overlap, the former "is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time," and the later "requires the background material or context" in the former "in order for readers to understand it." Also, the two pages already contain a significant amount of duplicate information on ancient, pre-ecumenical Christian church councils. I welcome discussion on this proposal.

Greetings, Today I added Catholicism template which contains a link to Ecumenical Councils which is a pretty close match to this EC article. Even though each is a different topic, they are closely related. Regards, JoeHebda ( talk) 19:32, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

I am new(ish) to Wikipedia. I felt it would be better to receive guidance on editing the article here rather than go ahead and edit it. Your help is appreciated.
At the 2008 Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), The Jerusalem Declaration was affirmed and states: "We uphold the four Ecumenical Councils and the three historic Creeds as expressing the rule of faith of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church." The current wording of the article seems hesitant/uncertain about where the Anglican church stands. Here's the full Declaration from the GAFCON website: https://www.gafcon.org/resources/the-jerusalem-declaration

The Council of Crete 2016, according to the sources provided in the article is considered the Eighth Ecumenical council. The majority of the Orthodox Patriarchates and autocephalous churches consider it the 8th ecumenical council and its results are binding. [1] Thus, the Council of Crete should be more adequately referred as "recognized as the 8th council by the majority of the autocephalous churches" or the sources provided should be updated if it is not so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apavlides24 ( talk • contribs) 19:26, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
The article gives preference to first Seven Ecumenical Councils. There is no universal acceptance and of all these seven Ecumenical Councils among all Churches which accept the decisions of Ecumenical Councils. The only universally accepted set of Ecumenical Councils among all these Churches are the First two Ecumenical Councils. Br Ibrahim john ( talk) 08:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
Elizium23, I am trying to keep up and I haven't edited the article in the way I feel good. I have opened this discussion just to understand why an article in Wikepedia gives prominence to some facts on the basis of the size of Churches. I never intended to do anything of my own in this article as I believe it is not the way to address the issue. I believe editors, whoever be, should be ready to take the matter by taking it objectively and constructively . I believe personal remarks are unfit for this space. I personally don't welcome personal comments regarding me. I wanted to point my concern over the questionable neutrality of the article. The article portrays the First Seven Ecumenical Councils as the prominent ones. Actually only the First Two Ecumenical Councils are the universally accepted Councils. Therefore, only the first two are prominent. The rest are all partially Ecumenical councils, atleast they are not universally accepted. I really can't believe that Wikepedia acts like official websites of Catholic and Eastern orthodox churches, by stressing on their ecclessiology and literally sidelining the views of the Oriental orthodox Communion and the Church of the East.
