See also:FLAVIAN I . (d. 404), See also:bishop or See also:patriarch of See also:Antioch, was See also:born about 320, most probably in Antioch. He inherited See also:great See also:wealth, but resolved to devote his riches and his talents to the service of the See also:- CHURCH

church. In association with Diodorus, afterwards bishop of See also:Tarsus, he supported the See also:Catholic faith against the Arian See also:Leontius, who had succeeded See also:Eustathius as bishop of Antioch. The two See also:friends assembled their adherents outside the See also:city walls for the observance of the exercises of See also:religion; and, according to See also:Theodoret, it was in these meetings that the practice of antiphonal singing was first introduced in the services of the church. When Meletius was appointed bishop of Antioch in 361 he raised Flavian to the priesthood, and on the See also:death of Meletius in 381 Flavian was chosen to succeed him. The See also:schism between the two parties was, however, far from being healed; the bishop of See also:Rome and the bishops of See also:Egypt refused to acknowledge Flavian, and See also:Paulinus, who by the extreme Eustathians had been elected bishop in opposition to Meletius, still exercised authority over a portion of the church. On the death of Paulinus in 383, See also:Evagrius was chosen as his successor, but after the death of Evagrius (c. 393) Flavian succeeded in preventing his receiving a successor, though the Eustathians still continued to hold See also:separate meetings. Through the intervention of See also:Chrysostom, soon after his See also:elevation to the patriarchate of See also:Constantinople (398) ,and the See also:influence of the emperorTheodosius, Flavian was acknowledged in 399 as Iegitimate bishop of Antioch by the Church of Rome; but the Eustathian schism was not finally healed till 415. Flavian, who died in See also:February 404, is venerated in both the Western and Eastern churches as a See also:saint.
