They are named after [[Donatus Magnus]]. Donatists held the true church was a church that could not include priests and bishops who had returned to the Christian faith after giving it up previously under the threat of persecution. <br /> <br /> The Donatist churches were repressed by the Roman Empire and by the wider Christian church but did not disappear completely until the Arab conquest of North Africa in the eight century. <br /> <br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> ==Quotes==<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donatist Wikipedia - Donatism]<br /> <br /> {{returnto}} [[Off-shoots of Christianity]] -&gt; [[Historical Sects of Christianity Index]]</div>
