That small, insignificant deacon is the great Athanasius. Next after the pope and deacon of Alexandria we must turn to one of its most important presbyters the parish priest of its principal church, which bore the name of Baucalis, and marked the first beginnings of what we should call a parochial system. In appearance he is the very opposite of Athanasius.
"Well, there was one Arius, a Libyan, Presbyter of a little church in Alexandria called Baucalis, preacher of the Unity of God" "I remember him now." "Of the Unity of God as opposed to the Trinity. Him the first Constantine sent to prison for life, did he not?"
At the outbreak of the controversy, about the year 318, we find him in charge of the church of Baucalis at Alexandria, and in high favour with his bishop, Alexander. It was no love of heathenism, but a real difficulty of the gospel which led him to form a new theory. His aim was not to lower the person of the Lord or to refuse him worship, but to defend that worship from the charge of polytheism.
