    Saint's day

    SECTION: FEATURES; Pg. 40


    St Nerses I, 4th century, was an Armenian bishop and strong reformer,
    organising a synod to bring discipline and efficiency to the church.
    However, his promulgation of canon legislation from Greece drew him in
    to conflict with the royal family. After a spell in exile, St Nerses
    fell out with the new king, who, in revenge, invited the bishop to
    dine and poisoned him.
