Synod Of Skrzynno
The Synod of Skrzynno 24 June 1567 was a synod between the Arians and Socinians among the Antitrinitarian Polish Brethren. From 1550-1563 Calvinists and Arians had met together at the Synods of Pińczów, the final synod in 1563 marking the break between the Calvinist ''ecclesia maior'' and the ''ecclesia minor'' of the Polish Brethren. A synod the following year at Piotrków Trybunalski in 1564, cemented the separation of Calvinists and Anti-Trinitarians. At the anti-Trinitarian synod at Węgrów on December 25, 1565 Georg Schomann, Matthias Albinus and Gregory Pauli took positions against Arianism, the belief in the pre-existence of Christ, marking the beginnings of characteristic Socinian belief (although) Fausto Sozzini did not arrive in Poland till 14 years later in 1579. The synod of Skrzynno was held at Skrzynno, Masovian Voivodeship Skrzynno is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wieniawa, within Przysucha County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central ...

Arians
Arianism ( grc-x-koine, Ἀρειανισμός, ) is a Christological doctrine first attributed to Arius (), a Christian presbyter from Alexandria, Egypt. Arian theology holds that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who was begotten by God the Father with the difference that the Son of God did not always exist but was begotten within time by God the Father, therefore Jesus was not coeternal with God the Father. Arius's trinitarian theology, later given an extreme form by Aetius and his disciple Eunomius and called anomoean ("dissimilar"), asserts a total dissimilarity between the Son and the Father. Arianism holds that the Son is distinct from the Father and therefore subordinate to him. The term ''Arian'' is derived from the name Arius; it was not what the followers of Arius's teachings called themselves, but rather a term used by outsiders. The nature of Arius's teachings and his supporters were opposed to the theological doctrines held by Homoousian Christians, regardin ...

Socinian
Socinianism () is a nontrinitarian belief system deemed heretical by the Catholic Church and other Christian traditions. Named after the Italian theologians Lelio Sozzini (Latin: Laelius Socinus) and Fausto Sozzini (Latin: Faustus Socinus), uncle and nephew, respectively, it was developed among the Polish Brethren in the Polish Reformed Church during the 16th and 17th centuries and embraced by the Unitarian Church of Transylvania during the same period. It is most famous for its Non-trinitarian Christology but contains a number of other heretical beliefs as well. Origins The ideas of Socinianism date from the wing of the Protestant Reformation known as the Radical Reformation and have their root in the Italian Anabaptist movement of the 1540s, such as the anti-trinitarian Council of Venice in 1550. Lelio Sozzini was the first of the Italian anti-trinitarians to go beyond Arian beliefs in print and deny the pre-existence of Christ in his ''Brevis explicatio in primum Johannis capu ...

Pre-existence Of Christ
The pre-existence of Christ asserts the existence of Christ before his incarnation as Jesus. One of the relevant Bible passages is where, in the Trinitarian interpretation, Christ is identified with a pre-existent divine hypostasis (substantive reality) called the Logos or Word. There are nontrinitarian views that question the aspect of personal pre-existence or the aspect of divinity or both. More particularly, John 1:15,18 says: This doctrine is supported in when Jesus refers to the glory which he had with the Father "before the world existed" during the Farewell Discourse.''Creation and Christology'' by Masanobu Endo 2002 page 233 also refers to the Father loving Jesus "before the foundation of the world". Nicene Christianity The pre-existence of Christ is a central tenet of mainstream Christianity. Most mainstream churches that accept the Nicene Creed consider the nature of Christ's pre-existence as the divine hypostasis called the Logos or Word, described in , whi ...

Matthias Albinus
Maciej Albin or Latin Matthias Albinus ( fl. 1570s) was a Polish Calvinist minister at Iwanowice Dworskie who became the first to administer Believer's baptism in Poland, and then became openly Unitarian. He differed from the Calvinists and many of the Arians at Pińczów in denying the pre-existence of Christ. And at the Synod of Skrzynno in 1567 stood with Georg Schomann, Gregory Pauli and Marcin Czechowic among the Polish Brethren. Although the term Socinian is anachronistic, he was counted among Socinian authors by Christopher Sandius. Robert Robinson's ''Ecclesiastical Researches'' (1792) incorrectly states that Albinus was a Trinitarian till the end of his life but this is contradicted by Bock Bock is a strong beer in Germany, usually a dark lager.
