SAINTS variously guilty of bribery, fraud and sacrilegious actions. Athanasius was cleared of all these charges but was finally accused of the murder of a Meletian bishop and of responsibility for having the victim’s body cut into pieces. However, tradition claims that Athanasius was able to demonstrate the bishop in question was actually still alive and his name was cleared once again. Undeterred, the Meletian Church went on to accuse him of rape. In this instance, the victim was apparently unable to recognise Athanasius as the man allegedly responsible whilst in court. In 335 AD Athanasius was summoned to the council ofTyre at the command of Constantine whose sympathies appeared to have moved towards the Arians. Once again Athanasius was met with accusations of impropriety, which he fought strongly against.When it became apparent that his accusers were intent on finding him guilty at all costs, Athanasius fled to Constantinople to seek the protection of the emperor. Constantine was initially sympathetic but, when Athanasius was then accused of threatening insurrection in Alexandria if he was not reinstated as bishop, the emperor became furious. It was claimed that Athanasius was going to organise a strike amongst the port workers who loaded the ships with grain from Alexandria on which the city of Constantinople depended for its survival. He was banished to Tyre by the emperor. Events took a dramatic turn when Arius died suddenly of internal haemorrhaging in Constantinople but Athanasius was left in exile. He finally returned to Alexandria in 337 AD after the death of Constantine. Controversy continued to follow him for decades but, in the years between 365 and 373 AD, the Alexandrian church finally experienced relative calm. Athanasius ranks with Basil, John Chrysostom and Gregory of •38•
SAINTS IN EASTERN CHRISTIANITY Nazianzus as one of the Four Eastern Doctors of the Church. He died on 2 May 373 AD. St Gregory of Nazianzus Born in 329 AD, St Gregory was the son of the bishop of Nazianzus in the region of Cappadocia, today part of Turkey. At this time, it was a region within the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire in Anatolia.As the son of a bishop, St Gregory received an excellent education at the University of Athens. It was here that he met the future saint Basil the Great. He also studied alongside the young noble who would become better known to history as the Roman emperor, <strong>Julian</strong> the Apostate. After finishing his studies St Gregory became a monk at Pontus with his friend St Basil the Great. When his father reached the age of eighty, St Gregory returned to Nazianzus to help him in his work and in running the family estate. It was whilst he was helping his father that he was persuaded to become a priest, a role he had not previously been keen to embrace. Initially, the new life and responsibilities that he faced proved too much and he returned to Pontus. After ten weeks of turmoil, he finally decided to accept his new role and returned home again. Although he suffered from poor health, St Gregory was called upon by the Orthodox bishops to help rebuild the Orthodox Church in Constantinople that had been persecuted by the pro-Arian emperor Valens. St Gregory faced much opposition from Arian Christians in his work but he began by turning his own house into a church. He worked tirelessly to promote the Nicean Creed against the beliefs of the powerful Arians and developed a reputation as an impressive theologian. St Gregory was a key figure in the Council of •39•
