Agrippinus was one of the earliest known bishops of Carthage around the 230s.[1] During his episcopacy, he dealt with the issue of how to treat Christian converts from schism or heresy. He called a synod of bishops of Numidia and Africa, probably around 230–235,[1] which decided that such converts should be fully baptized.[2]
Subsequently, St. Cyprian would mention the positive reputation of Agrippinus (bonæ memoriæ vir).[3]
St. Augustine, in his arguments against the Donatists, would remark that Agrippinus and Cyprian maintained the unity of the church despite being doctrinally mistaken.[3]
