Agrippinus of Carthage

Who is Agrippinus of Carthage?

Agrippinus was a bishop of Carthage at the close of the second and beginning of the third century. During his episcopacy, he dealt with the issue of how to treat Christian converts from schism or heresy. He called a synod of bishops of Numidia and Africa, probably around 215, which decided that such converts should be fully baptized.

Subsequently, St. Cyprian would mention the positive reputation of Agrippinus.

St. Augustine, in his arguments against the Donatists, would remark that Agrippinus and Cyprian maintained the unity of the church despite being doctrinally mistaken.
