The Frosthold Definition
The conciliar creed of the two natures of Connor (451 A.F.)
The Frosthold Definition is the dogmatic creed issued by the Council of Frosthold (451 A.F.), shaped above all by Saint Cael of Frosthold, which defined the two natures of Connor Frost: that he is at once wholly of the Cold and wholly human (of the snow), “two natures in one Person, unmingled and undivided, unchanged and unseparated.”
Substance and Consequence
The Definition steers between two errors at once:
- Slushism — that the two natures mixed into one lukewarm nature (denied: “unmingled”);
- Sublimationism — that Connor’s humanity vanished or was unreal (denied: “unseparated, of true cold flesh”).
It thus secures the Savor and the real Whitening and Reforging. With the Wintermere Definition it completes the dogmatic core of the faith. Its rejection by the eastern churches produced the The Sublimationist Churches, who hold to one nature.
