Roman Catholic answer:The Council of Jerusalem was the first ecumenical council of the Church. It is recorded in Acts, chapter 15. There were many apostles present, including James, who was Bishop of Jerusalem, Peter, the first Pope, along with Paul and Barnabas. The central problem the church was having at the time was with the Judaizers who seemed to think that just following Jesus wasn't enough, new converts had to be converted to Judaism first, be circumcised and follow the whole law (the law of Moses). The decision was that you didn't have to be a Jew to convert to Christianity, a letter was written and sent to Antioch with Paul, Barnabas, Judas, and Silas.
