Around the middle of the second century CE, the ecstatic and prophetic movement known as “Montanism” erupted in Phrygia, a Roman province located in the more culturally “wild” interior of Asia Minor, a region already well known for more ecstatic forms of religious expression.
The movement was originally called the “New Prophecy,” and founded by the prophet Montanus, whom many claim was either a priest of Apollo or Cybele before his conversion to Christianity. They proclaimed that the end of the world was coming, with the arrival of the New Jerusalem happening soon and landing actually in Phrygia. In addition to Montanus, leadership was also focused upon two prophetesses, Priscilla and Maximilla.
In fact, in general, spiritual leadership was focused upon those with the gift of prophecy, a leadership position open to all inspired by the Holy Sprit, inclusive of women, challenging the patriarchy of the Church.
Eventually, the movement was condemned by the Church of Rome and thoroughly persecuted by the Emperors, leading to its eventual demise.
Join us for this fascinating talk about this little discussed topic.
