Syrian Orthodox Church

The Syrian Orthodox Church, also known as the Syriac Orthodox Church, is an ancient Christian community originating in the Middle East. It follows a rich tradition rooted in early Christianity and uses the Syriac language in its liturgy. The church is non-Chalcedonian, meaning it has its own christological understanding distinct from the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. It emphasizes tradition, liturgical worship, and community life. Today, it is a global church with members mainly in the Middle East, India, and the diaspora, maintaining its deep historical and cultural heritage while engaging with contemporary issues.
