June 20, 404 - John Chrysostom Exiled from Church in Constantinople

John Chrysostom was one of the most well-known theologians of the early church, but he was often not welcomed into some churches’ congregations. Chrysostom often spoke out against the upper class, who he claimed were more concerned with being Christians socially instead of humbly serving in the ways that Christ did. Because of this, on June 20, 404 A.D., Chrysostom was exiled from the church in Constantinople.
