Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The Synod of Brefi was a church council held at Llanddewi Brefi in Ceredigion , Wales around 545 . The synod was apparently called in order to condemn the heresy heretical teachings of Pelagius British monk Pelagius , although this is far from certain. It was an important milestone in the rise of Saint David . The story goes that Saint Paulinus of Wales Paulinus persuaded Saint Dubricius , the senior bishop there, to allow David, a minor abbot , to address the crowd. His words were so eloquent that Dubricius retired in David s favour. One of his first duties was to consecrate Saint Deiniol as Bishop of Bangor . It is also said that the synod was called while Saint Cadoc , Abbot of Llancarfan Abbey Llancarfan , was away in Brittany . In disgust, he refused to return for many years.
