Both Heraclius and Sergius planned to adopt a form of 'Monenergism'.[15] The hope was that their religious formula would be able to connect the different religious beliefs and provide a sense of unity within the empire. Sergius promulgated the belief that Jesus Christ had two natures but one will, known as Monothelitism. It was hoped that the idea would appeal to both Chalcedonians and to Monophysite followers in the empire as it fused basic principles taken from both realms of practice.
