These major centers of early Christianity, founded by the [[apostles]], were looked to by their respective regions as leaders in Church life, and eventually their [[bishop]]s came to be regarded as the [[primate]]s of their areas. The members of the Pentarchy all participated in some form in the first eight [[Ecumenical Councils]], from 325 to 880. Their relationship with each other, despite various periods of rivalry and dispute, was generally in terms of fraternal equality and conciliarity.
