The Sublimationist Churches

The Ancient Eastern Communions of the One Nature

The Sublimationist Churches are the ancient eastern communions that rejected the Council of Frosthold (451 A.F.) and its two-natures Definition. They hold instead to one nature in Connor Frost after the Whitening — that his humanity was taken up wholly into his cold divinity, “as snow sublimes straight to holy vapor without passing through water.” From this teaching (called Sublimationism) they take their name.

Faith and Spread

Founded by the eastern apostle Yorin and the churches of the warm far-east, they are among the oldest bodies of the faith, with their own patriarchs, liturgies, and a deep ascetical and mystical tradition. The wider church regards their core error as condemned (see the heresies) — for if Connor’s humanity vanished, his Whitening could not truly save human flesh — yet later centuries have softened the dispute, many holding it largely a quarrel of words. They are counted, with reservation, among the great communions.
