The Cappodocian Fathers were three friends, pastors, and theologians from Cappadocia, who attended and influenced the Council in Constantinople in 381. They were very important figures in the early church who helped shape Christian doctrine and the language used to explain it. Gregory of Nazianzus and Basil the Great were two of the four Great Eastern church fathers and Eight Doctors of the Church. Gregory of Nyssa was Basil's brother. He lacked Basil's administrative abilities and Gregory of Nazianzus' influence and rhetorical skills, but he was still a good theologian.
