"Church of the East": History

Post by Barbara »

Video points out important points that though called by outsiders "Nestorian Christians", in fact these Eastern Christians -
from Mesopotamia to Iran to Bactria [northern Afghanistan] to Pakistan to Southern India - the Malabar Coast especially - and onward to China -
called themselves "The Church of the East" instead.

NEITHER did they completely follow the teachings of Nestorius. It sounds like they did a little bit, but not very much.

Nice video, 4 minutes

The Church of The East: how ancient Christianity spread from Iraq to China."
