Around the time of the Reformation, perhaps? In the theology of The
One True Faith, the Three Persons of the Triune God - the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost - are _co-equal_.

Don't know that I've come across "co-equal" in any other context. But,
youneverknow. It would hardly have attracted my attention, IAC,
because I've been familiar with it since first-grade catechism class.
