Oriental Orthodoxy
Non-Chalcedonian ancient churches
Oriental Orthodoxy is a family of Eastern Christian churches that separated from the main body of Christianity after the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE over disagreements about the nature of Christ.
The group includes the Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Syriac, Armenian, and Malankara churches.
Despite the name, Oriental Orthodoxy is distinct from Eastern Orthodoxy—the two communions split before the East-West schism that divided Rome from Constantinople.
