Diocese of Laodicea in Phrygia

The Diocese of Laodicea in Phrygia, is an important titular 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, and the First Epistle to Timothy may have been written here. Further, the church was one of the Seven churches of Asia.
A bishop was appointed in Apostolic Times, with numerous suffragan bishops attached.
