The Diocese of Laodicea in Phrygia, is an important Titular Christian Diocese, centered on the biblical city of Laodicea on the Lycus in modern Turkey.
The Church at Laodicea was a centre of Christianity from a very early point. The New Testament indicates a Christian presence in Laodicea as early as the AD 50s.
The church is mentioned extensively in the epistle to the Colossians,[1][2] and the First Epistle to Timothy may have been written here.[3] Further, the church was one of the Seven churches of Asia.[4]
A bishop was appointed in Apostolic Times, with numerous suffragean bishop attached.
