Murphysboro Centuries, 3rd sacred

Cyprian, c. 200-258
- bishop of Carthage, Africa - best known for insisting on the baptism of infants at an early time ( 'eight days too long to wait'), and for insisting on the unity of the church
- there was only one church and there was no salvation outside the church - if you were not part of the church, you were not a Christian - the unity of the church was based on the unity of the bishops
