Assyrian Church of the East

The Assyrian Church of the East (ACOE), sometimes called the Church of the East and officially known as the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East, is an East Syriac Christian denomination that follows and descends from the traditional theology and ecclesiology of the historic Church of the East. It was established in 1672 during a schism from the Chaldean Catholic Church of the East.
