Is there any consensus on how many councils are accepted in Anglicanism? I always hear four or seven, or sometimes four and conditional acceptance of the latter three.
It's not often mentioned, but there were schisms prior to 1054, and the only councils accepted by everyone as ecumenical (among churches who accept councils) are the first two as far as I remember.
Of course, Anglicans may think of councils differently than the Orthodox and especially Catholics.
