Christophoros 7 was bishop of Promissos (Prymnessos) in Phrygia Salutaris; in 787 he attended the Second Council of Nikaia (the Seventh Ecumenical Council) and was probably present at all eight sessions, from 24 September to 23 November 787: Mansi XII 998-XIII 486. In the list of those present at the first session he is styled Χριστοφόρου ἐπισκόπου Προβυσσοῦ (sic): Mansi XII 998. In the list of those present at the seventh session he is styled Χριστοφόρου ἐπισκόπου Προμισοῦ: Mansi XIII 372. Elsewhere he is styled Χριστόφορος ὁ ὁσιώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Προμισοῦ or similar: Mansi XII 1107, XIII 148 (Πρυμισοῦ). His see was perhaps Prymnessos (not otherwise recorded in these lists, even under its later name of Akroinon). At the second session he supported the traditional veneration of icons as described in statements from pope Hadrian I (Hadrianos 1), and condemned iconoclasts: Mansi XII 1107. At the fourth session he subscribed the statements read out from the Fathers in support of the veneration of icons: Mansi XIII 148. His name is missing from the list of those who subscribed the statement of the faith adopted by the Council at the seventh session, but he attended the session and the omission is probably accidental; the name is perhaps lost in a lacuna on Mansi XIII 396.
