The Church of the East, once the largest Christian communion of the medieval world, reaching from the Near East and Anatolia all the way to Central Asia, India, and even China.
This video explores how the Church of the East began from the root of Antiochene Christology, the Nestorian controversy and its eventual independence from the "church of the west". Thank you for watching, and we hope you have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
