received a blessing from Maro and then set out to visit the churh in Amida. Sergius walked into
the church in Amida, carrying a cross, and planted his cross on the
chancel steps before seizing the preacher, Bishop Abraham, by
the neck and throwing him to the ground. Sergius mounted the
steps and addressed the crowd: "Cursed are the renegades; cursed are the
persecutors; cursed is the synod of Chaledon, and whosoever assents to
it. Cursed is every soul that receives the oblation from you and assents
to your opinion unless he repents." The crowd, a mixture of believers
and synod supporters, responded with praise and anger.
