| Adiaphora being the theological tool which was developed during the controversies of the Reformation, is the baptism not an adiaphora? |
| Matthias Flacius Illyricus, a Lutheran Reformer, passionately opposed this policy on the grounds that under political pressure no adiaphora could be accepted, and, therefore, no concession could be allowed. |
| Theirs was not a personal quarrel leading to distinction through organization, with religious differences trailing behind as so much adiaphora. |
| The theoretical question of adiaphora, however, continued to be debated by Protestants. |
| The late Bishop of Bangor and Liberal churchman Tony Crockett used the word adiaphora to denote this issue. |
