Answer:

Bishops met in councils to talk about the aspects related to church and other matters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Christian church, bishops met to discuss aspects related to the doctrine, discipline and other important aspects with other leaders. When there is a meeting of all the bishops who belong to the church, it is a general council. When there are local councils, they are called synods.

During the early church, the term council was used in any meeting that involved church and it was also given to the buildings where church services took place. However, in the 3rd century, the term council was applied for the bishops' meetings.
