Church of the East. The
Syrian Church, more popularly known as
Nestorian, or
Assyrian, which descends from the ancient church in the Persian Empire. Its foundation is traditionally associated with Mari, a disciple of
Addai, or with St
Thomas himself. It adopted a strongly dyophysite (
Antiochene) christology which by the 7th cent. hardened into Nestorianism.
The church undertook very extensive missionary work, and even had outposts in China from 635 until ‘foreign’ religions were expelled in 845 (see
HSI-AN FU). At present, the Nestorians form a very small community in Iraq (the patriarchate was restored to Baghdād in 1976 with the election of Mar Denḥa IV), together with other small populations in the Middle E., N. and S. America, and S. India (this being a dissident body from the Syro-Malabar Church).
