Summary
It is popularly believed Arius was born in Libya in AD 270. He is credited with having started one of the most deadly heretical sects to attack the early church - that of Arianism. It has continued assaulting the church until today, under many titles.
Our first encounter with Arius is somewhere between AD 300-311, when he joined up with a group of heretics called Meletians. Evidently, he did not find what he was searching for and left them.
He then managed to become ordained a deacon of the Catholic church by Peter of Alexandria, who was bishop at the time. His loyalties were still with the Meletians; when they were censured, he bitterly criticized the church, and came out against her. He was excommunicated by the same bishop who had ordained him deacon, Bishop Peter of Alexandria!
