Now this is a cool resource!
Manual of the Councils of the Holy Catholic Church is now in Community pricing, likely to go for $6! It has all the details on hundreds of General, Patriarchal, National, and Primatial Councils, where Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican church leaders and theologians met to discuss their church doctrines and disciplines. Talk about a true book on Christian history!!!

As a Baptist, I'm not sure how much interest I might have, but I put in my bid because I would like to see Logos offer such resources.

Hi Jack! Dear Brother! *smile* It's been a long time since I've said Hi! When I've flown over your personal countryside on my way to see my daughter in Grand Cayman, I did say a couple of little prayers for you and your family! :-)
Anyway, my purpose in writing is just to point out that many of these "Councils" are quite early, long before the church was centred in Rome, long before the present Roman Catholic Church.
For example: I found on the internet the following:
The Seven Ecumenical Councils
A Church Council is an official ad hoc gathering of representatives to settle Church business. Such Councils are called rarely and are not the same as the regular gatherings of church leaders (synods, etc). An ecumenical council is one at which the whole Church is represented. The three major branches of the Church (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant) recognize seven ecumenical councils: Nicea (325), Constantinople (381), Ephesus (431), Chalcedon (451), Constantinople II (553), Constantinople III (680), Nicea II (787). Further ecumenical councils were rendered impossible by the widening split between Eastern (Orthodox, Greek-speaking) and Western (Catholic, Latin-speaking) Churches, a split that was rendered official in 1054 and has not yet been healed.
Jack, those are the ones I'm most interested in myself; although perhaps there's something for me in the later councils also. Philip Schaff did extensive history in this area, some of which you might have in your resources.
Also the Philip Schaff 21 volume Pre-Pub is "almost there"! http://www.logos.com/product/4597/philip-schaff-collection
Kindest Personal Greetings and Blessings to you and your family! *smile*
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

I'm in! I'm seeking a solid, well-rounded group of resources to augment what I already have on the church era and this fits the bill.

This looks like an invaluable reference source, I just worry that people will stick at the ridiculous price of $6 and it will never see the light of day.
I would suggest that anyone who seeks to be orthodox and loves the Church would benefit from these volumes.
