Changes

Furthermore, following Constantine, questions arose among the chruch regarding what to do with Apostates (those who had renounced their faith under threat of persecution). One group within the church who felt that Apostates should not be readmitted to the church. This group became known as the Donatists and broke away from the church and developed an anti-government stance. Its power-base was in North Africa, and Constantine backed the majority in the church which was anti-Donatist.
