{{Kekristenan Timur}}
'''Gereja di Timur''' ({{lang-syc|ܥܕܬܐ ܕܡܕܢܚܐ}}, ''ʿĒḏtā d-Maḏenḥā''), yang juga disebut '''Gereja Persia'''{{sfn|Fiey|1994|p=97-107}}{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=4}} atau '''Gereja Nestorian''',{{refn|name=contentious|group=keterangan}} adalah salah satu [[Kekristenan Timur|Gereja Timur]] pengamal [[Ritus Suriah Timur|Ritusritus Suryani Timur]] yang berbasis di [[Mesopotamia]]. Gereja ini adalah salah satu dari tiga cabang utama [[Kekristenan Timur|Gereja Timur]] yang lahir dari kontroversi-kontroversi [[kristologi]]s abad ke-5 dan ke-6. Dua cabang utama lainnya adalah Gereja-[[Gereja Ortodoks Oriental]] dan [[Gereja Ortodoks Timur]]. Pada [[periode Modern Awal|permulaan zaman modern]], sederet [[skisma]] memecah Gereja ini menjadi beberapa [[kebatrikan]] yang saling bersaing, kadang-kadang ada dua, dan kadang-kadang ada tiga kebatrikan dalam waktu yang bersamaan.{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=112-123}} Sejak paruh akhir abad ke-20, tiga Gereja di Irak mengaku sebagai penerus sah Gereja di Timur, sementara Gereja-Gereja pengamal ritus Suryani Timur di India mengaku sebagai penerus sah [[Kristen Santo Tomas|Gereja di Timur cabangdi India]].
 
Gereja di Timur menata diri menjadi [[Gereja nasional]] [[Kekaisaran Sasaniyah|Kemaharajaan Persia SasasiSasani]] dalam [[Konsili Seleukia-Ktesifon]] tahun 410. Pada tahun 424, Gereja di Timur mengumumkan kemandiriannya dari [[Gereja negara Kekaisaran Romawi|tatanan Gereja]] di [[Kekaisaran Romawi]]. Kepala Gereja di Timur adalah [[Batrik Gereja di Timur|Batrik di Timur]] yang bertakhta di [[Provinsi Kebatrikan Seleukia-Ktesifon|Seleukia-Ktesifon]] selaku penerus suksesi kepemimpinan yang (menurut tradisi Gereja di Timur) bermula pada [[Zaman Apostolik]]. Menurut tradisinya sendiri, Gereja di Timur didirikan [[Tomas|Rasul Tomas]] pada abad pertama. Ritus liturgisnya adalah Ritusritus Suryani Timur yang menggunakan [[Liturgi Adai dan Mari|Liturgi Suci Santo Adai dan Santo Mari]].
 
Sebagai bagian dari [[Gereja Raya]], Gereja di Timur menjalin [[koinonia|persekutuan]] dengan Gereja-Gereja di Kekaisaran Romawi sampai [[Konsili Efesus]] [[Skisma Nestorian|menganatema]] [[Nestorius]] pada tahun 431.<ref name="Wilken 2013"/> Para pendukung Nestorius berbondong-bondong mengungsi ke Persia,. karena Gereja di TimurKarena menolak ikut-ikutan menganatema Nestorius, sehinggaGereja di Timur dituding menganut paham [[Nestorianisme]], bidat yang konon diajarkan Nestorius. Inilah sebabnya Gereja Barat dan semua Gereja Timur lainnya, baik dari golongan Kalsedon maupun dari golongan non-Kalsedon, melabeli Gereja di Timur dengan sebutan "Gereja Nestorian". Dari segi politik, Persia dan Roma ketika itu sedang berperang, sehingga Gereja di Timur terpaksa menjaga jarak dengan Gereja-Gereja di wilayah Romawi.<ref>Procopius, ''Wars'', I.7.1–2<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 62</ref><ref>Joshua the Stylite, ''Chronicle'', [http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/joshua_the_stylite_02_trans.htm XLIII] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210214033122/http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/joshua_the_stylite_02_trans.htm |date=2021-02-14 }}<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 62</ref><ref>Procopius, ''Wars'', I.9.24<br />* Greatrex–Lieu (2002), II, 77</ref> Belakangan ini, para sarjana menyifatkan sebutan "Nestorian" sebagai "sebutan keliru yang patut disesali",{{sfn|Brock|1996|p=23–35}}{{sfn|Brock|2006|p=1-14}} dan tidak tepat secara teologis.{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=4}} Gereja di Timur sendiri pun menyebut diri "Nestorian", menganatema Konsili Efesus, dan menggelari Nestorius sebagai [[santo]] di dalam liturginya.{{sfn|Joseph|2000|p=42}}{{sfn|Wood|2013|p=140}} Meskipun demikian, para ahli kristologi Gereja di Timur pada akhirnya bersidang dan meratifikasi keputusan [[Konsili Kalsedon]] dalam Sinode Mar [[Aba I]] tahun 544.<ref>{{cite book|last=Moffett|first=Samuel H.|title=A History of Christianity in Asia.

Sebagai golongan ''[[dzimmi|zimi]]'' di bawah [[Penaklukan Persia oleh Muslim|daulat Islam di Persia]] (633-654), Gereja di Timur memainkan peran utama di dalam sejarah [[Kekristenan di Asia]]. Antara abad ke-9 sampai abad ke-14, Gereja di Timur merupakan [[denominasi Kristen]] terbesar di dunia dari segi luas geografis. Gereja di Timur mendirikan [[Keuskupan-keuskupan Gereja di Timur sampai tahun 1318|keuskupan-keuskupan]] dan paguyuban-paguyuban dari [[Laut Tengah]] serta [[Irak]] dan [[Iran]] sekarang ini, sampai ke [[India (provinsi gerejawi Suryani Timur)|India]] ([[Kristen Santo Tomas|umat Kristen Santo Tomas pengamal ritus Suryani]] di [[Kerala]]), [[Kekristenan di kalangan bangsa Mongol|kerajaan-kerajaan bangsa Mongol]] di Asia Tengah, dan [[dinasti Tang|kemaharajaan kulawangsa Tang]] di [[Gereja dari Timur di Tiongkok|Tiongkok]] (abad ke-7 sampai abad ke-9). Pada abad ke-13 dan ke-14, Gereja di Timur mengalami masa-masa ekspansi terakhirnya di bawah daulat [[kekaisaran Mongol|kemaharajaan bangsa Mongol]], yakni masa-masa ketika para rohaniwan Gereja di Timur duduk di dalam majelis istana Mongol.
 
Bahkan sebelum mengalamikehilangan keterpurukansebagian dibesar bidangwilayah ekspansipelayanannya pada abad ke-14, Gereja di Timur sudah kehilangan pijakan di kandang sendiri. Kemerosotan ini tampak pada penurunan jumlah keuskupan yang masih aktif. Sekitar tahun 1000, ada lebih dari enam puluh keuskupan di kawasan Timur Dekat, tetapi pada pertengahan abad ke-13 sudah tinggal sepertiganya saja, dankemudian turun merosotlagi menjadi tujuh keuskupan sesudah [[Timur Leng]] berkuasa.{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=84-89}} Sesudah kemaharajaan bangsa Mongol terpecah belah, para penguasa Tionghoa dan Mongol Islam mengusir bahkan nyaris memusnahkan Gereja di Timur danmaupun umatnya. Sesudah itu, sebagian besar keuskupan Gereja di Timur terdapathanya di daerah Mesopotamia Hulu dan di [[Pesisir Malabar]] (sekarang [[Kerala]], India) sajalah keuskupan-keuskupan Gereja di Timur dapat ditemukan.
 
Skisma memecah belah Gereja ini, tetapi pada akhirnya tersisa dua kebatrikan pada tahun 1830, yakni [[Gereja Asiria Timur|Gereja Asyur di Timur]] dan [[Gereja Katolik Kaldea]] (salah satu [[Gereja Katolik Timur]] yang bersatu dengan [[Takhta Suci]]). [[Gereja Purba di Timur]] pecah dari Gereja Asyur di Timur pada tahun 1968. Pada tahun 2017, umat Gereja Katolik Kaldea diperkirakan berjumlah 628.405 jiwa,<ref>[http://www.cnewa.org/source-images/Roberson-eastcath-statistics/eastcatholic-stat17.pdf The Eastern Catholic Churches 2017] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181024215818/http://www.cnewa.org/source-images/Roberson-eastcath-statistics/eastcatholic-stat17.pdf |date=2018-10-24 }}

Kemandirian Kepala Gereja di Timur, [[Batrik Gereja di Timur|Batrik di Timur]],sudah dimaklumkan pada tahun 424, 9 tahun sebelum penyelenggaraan [[Konsili Efesus]] terselenggara pada tahun 431, yakni konsili yang menganatema [[Nestorius]] dan memaklumkan bahwa [[Maria|Maria, ibunda Yesus]], dapat disifatkan sebagai [[Theotokos|Bunda AllahTuhan]]. Sebelum itu sudah terselenggara, dua [[konsili oikumenis|konsili ekumeneekumenis]] yangsudah keputusannyaterselenggara, dan keputusan-keputusan berterima umum, yakniyaitu [[Konsili Nikea I]] tahun 325 yang juga dihadiri seorang uskup Persia, dan [[Konsili Konstantinopel I]] tahun 381. Gereja di Timur menerima ajaran-ajaran kedua konsili ini, tetapi mengabaikan Konsili Efesus tahun 431 maupun konsili-konsili sesudahnya, karena berpandangan bahwa konsili-konsili tersebut hanya berkaitanberkenaan dengan kebatrikan-kebatrikan di [[Kekaisaran Romawi]] ([[Takhta Suci|Roma]], [[Patriarkat Oikumenis Konstantinopel|Konstantinopel]], [[Patriark Aleksandria|Aleksandria]], [[Gereja Antiokhia|Antiokhia]], [[Gereja Ortodoks Yunani Yerusalem|Yerusalem]]). Di mata Gereja di Timur, semua kebatrikan tersebut adalah "Gereja-Gereja di Barat".{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=3, 30}}
 
Dari segi teologi, Gereja di Timur mengadopsi [[diofisitisme|doktrin diofisit]] yang menitikberatkan perbedaan [[persatuan hipostatik|kodrat ilahi dan kodrat insani]] [[Pandangan Kristen tentang Yesus|Yesus]].
Baris 100:
Sejak abad ke-6, Gereja di Timur melebarkan sayap ke sampai ke negeri-negeri yang sangat jauh, dengan membentuk paguyuban-paguyuban umat Kristen di [[India (provinsi gerejawi Suryani Timur)|India]] (umat [[Kristen Santo Tomas]]), Asia Tengah (di kalangan [[Kekristenan di kalangan bangsa Mongol|bangsa Mongol]]), dan di [[Gereja dari Timur di Tiongkok|Tiongkok]] pada zaman [[dinasti Tang|kulawangsa Tang]] dari abad ke-7 sampai abad ke-9. Pada puncak kegemilangannya, antara abad ke-9 sampai abad ke-14, Gereja di Timur merupakan Gereja terbesar di dunia dari segi luas geografis, dengan [[Keuskupan-keuskupan Gereja di Timur sampai tahun 1318|keuskupan-keuskupan]] yang tersebar dari daerah pusatnya di antara [[Mesopotamia Hulu]] dan [[Laut Tengah]] sampai ke [[Tiongkok]], [[Mongolia]], [[Asia Tengah]], [[Anatolia]], [[Jazirah Arab]], dan [[India]].
 
Sesudah menyebar sedemikian luas, Gereja di Timur memasuki kurun waktu kemerosotan tajam pada abad ke-14. Sebab utamanya adalah pengaruh-pengaruh dari luar. [[dinasti Ming|Kulawangsa Ming]] menumbangkan kekuasaan bangsa Mongol di Tiongkok pada tahun 1368, dan menyingkirkan umat Kristen maupun pengaruh-pengaruh asing lainnya dari Tiongkok. Selain itu, banyak orang Mongol di Asia Tengah memelukberalih ke [[agama Islam]]. [[Timur]] (1336–1405), pemimpin bangsa Turki-Mongol, nyaris memusnahkan sisa-sisa umat Kristen di Timur Tengah. Yang tersisa dari umat KristenGereja Nestoriandi Timur hanyalah paguyuban-paguyuban di daerah [[Mesopotamia Hulu]] dan jemaat [[Kristen Santo Tomas]] di [[Pesisir Malabar]], [[Anak Benua India]].
 
[[Skisma tahun 1552]] padaPada [[periode modern awal|awalpermulaan zaman modern]], [[skisma tahun 1552]] memecah belah Gereja di Timur sehingga menjadi tiga Gereja terpisah, yakni [[Gereja Katolik Kaldea]] yang [[komuni penuh|bersatu]] dengan [[Takhta Suci]], serta [[Gereja Asiria Timur|Gereja Asyur di Timur]] dan [[Gereja Purba di Timur]] yang tidak menjalin persekutuan dengan Gereja mana pun.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000}}
 
=== Penyifatan sebagai Gereja Nestorian ===
[[File:Christological spectrum-o2p.svg|thumb|300px|Pandangan-pandangan Gereja di Timur pada spektrum kristologis abad ke-5 sampai abad ke-7 (biru muda)]]
{{Utama|Nestorianisme|Skisma Nestorian}}
[[Nestorianisme]] adalah doktrin [[kristologi|kristologis]]s yang menitikberatkan perbedaan antara kodrat insani dan kodrat ilahi [[Yesus]]. Doktrin ini dinisbatkan kepada [[Nestorius]], [[Patriark Oikumenis Konstantinopel|Batrik Konstantinopel]] dari tahun 428 sampai tahun 431. Doktrin Nestorius merupakan puncak pencapaian mazhab filsafati yang dikembangkan para sarjana [[Perguruan Katekese Antiokhia]], teristimewa [[Teodorus dari Mopsuestia]], guru Nestorius. NestoriusKontroversi memicu kontroversitimbul ketika Nestorius secara terbuka menggugat pemberian gelar ''[[Theotokos|Teotokos]]'' (arti harfiahnya "Sang Pelahir Allah[[Tuhan]]") kepada [[Maria|Maria, ibunda Yesus]],.{{sfn|Foltz|1999|p=63}} yangMenurut iaNestorius, anggapmenyebut Maria sebagai penyangkalan''Teotokos'' sama saja dengan terhadapmemungkiri kesejatian kodrat insani Kristus. Nestorius mengemukakan bahwa Yesus memiliki dua kodrat yang tidak benar-benar menyatu, yakni kodrat ilahi sebagaiselaku [[Logos]] dan kodrat insani sebagaiselaku Yesus, dan oleh karena itu mengusulkan gelar ''[[Kristotokos]]'' (arti harfiahnya "Sang Pelahir Kristus") yang ia anggap lebih pantas. Pernyataan-pernyataan nestorius menuai kritik dari rohaniwan-rohaniwan terkemuka lainnya, terutama [[Sirilus dari Aleksandria|Sirilus]], [[Patriark Aleksandria|Batrik Aleksandria]], salah seorang pemimpin sidang [[Konsili Efesus]] tahun 431 yang [[ajaran sesat|membidatkan]] Nestorius dan mencopotmemecatnya dari jabatan batriknyabatrik.{{sfn|Seleznyov|2010|p=165–190}}<!--

== OrganisationOrganisasi anddan structurestruktur ==
Dalam [[Konsili Seleukia-Ktesifon]] tahun 410, Gereja di Timur mengumumkan bahwa Uskup Seleukia-Ktesifon, ibu kota [[Kekaisaran Sasaniyah|Persia]], adalah pemimpin tertingginya. Kepala Gereja di Timur disebut "Metropolitan Agung" di dalam surat keputusan Konsili Seleukia-Ktesifon, tetapi tidak lama kemudian disebut "[[Katolikos]] di Timur". Gelar [[batrik]] baru dipakai belakangan.
At the [[Council of Seleucia-Ctesiphon]] in 410, the Church of the East was declared to have at its head the bishop of the [[Sasanid Empire|Persian]] capital Seleucia-Ctesiphon, who in the acts of the council was referred to as the Grand or Major Metropolitan, and who soon afterward was called the [[Catholicos]] of the East. Later, the title of [[Patriarch]] was used.
 
Sama seperti Gereja-Gereja lain, Gereja di Timur memiliki rohaniwan-rohaniwan [[penahbisan|tertahbis]] dalam tiga jenjang jabatan tradisional, yakni [[uskup]], [[imam]] (atau [[presbiter]]), dan [[diakon]]. Sama seperti Gereja-Gereja lain, Gereja di Timur menerapkan [[episkopal|tatanan keuskupan]], yakni pengelompokan umat menjadi [[keuskupan]]-keuskupan yang masing-masing dikepalai seorang uskup. Umat di tiap keuskupan masih dikelompokkan lagi menjadi [[paroki]]-paroki yang masing-masing dipimpin seorang imam. Keuskupan-keuskupan yang berdekatan dikelompokkan menjadi satu [[provinsi gerejawi|provinsi]] di bawah kepemimpinan seorang [[uskup metropolit|uskup metropolitan]]. Uskup metropolitan adalah jabatan yang penting, karena mengemban tugas-tugas maupun wewenang tambahan. Berdasarkan hukum kanon, hanya uskup-uskup metropolitan yang berhak [[konsekrasi|mengonsekrasi]] batrik.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=21-22}} Selain menjadi kepala Gereja, batrik juga mengepalai [[kebatrikan|provinsi kebatrikan]].
The Church of the East had, like other churches, an [[ordination|ordained]] clergy in the three traditional orders of [[bishop]], [[priest]] (or [[presbyter]]), and [[deacon]]. Also like other churches, it had an [[episcopal polity]]: organisation by [[diocese]]s, each headed by a bishop and made up of several individual [[parish]] communities overseen by priests. Dioceses were organised into [[Ecclesiastical province|provinces]] under the authority of a [[metropolitan bishop]]. The office of metropolitan bishop was an important one, coming with additional duties and powers; canonically, only metropolitans could [[consecration|consecrate]] a patriarch.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=21-22}} The Patriarch also has the charge of the [[Patriarchate|Province of the Patriarch]].

[[Perjanjian Lama]] Pesyita diterjemahkan dari [[bahasa Ibrani]], kendati tarikh maupun tempat penerjemahannya tidak betul-betul jelas. Para penerjemahnya mungkin adalah orang-orang Yahudi penutur bahasa Suryani atau orang-orang Yahudi pertama yang memeluk agama Kristen. Mungkin teks demi teks diterjemahkan terpisah-pisah, dan kemungkinan besar penerjemahkan dituntaskan sepenuhnya pada abad ke-2. Rata-rata [[Biblical apocrypha|kitab deuterokanonika Perjanjian Lama]] memiliki terjemahan Suryaninya, dan kitab [[Kebijaksanaan Sirakh]] diyakini diterjemahkan dari [[bahasa Ibrani]], bukan dari [[Septuaginta]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bible-researcher.com/syriac-isbe.html |title=''Syriac Versions of the Bible'', Thomas Nicol |access-date=2021-06-19 |archive-date=2020-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200307080247/http://bible-researcher.com/syriac-isbe.html |dead-url=no }}</ref>
The [[Old Testament]] of the Peshitta was translated from [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], although the date and circumstances of this are not entirely clear. The translators may have been Syriac-speaking Jews or early Jewish converts to Christianity. The translation may have been done separately for different texts, and the whole work was probably done by the second century. Most of the [[Biblical apocrypha|deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament]] are found in the Syriac, and the [[Wisdom of Sirach]] is held to have been translated from the [[Hebrew]] and not from the [[Septuagint]].<ref>[http://www.bible-researcher.com/syriac-isbe.html Syriac Versions of the Bible by Thomas Nicol]</ref>
 
[[Perjanjian Baru]] Pesyita, yang mula-mula tidak mencakup kitab-kitab yang diragukan keasliannya ([[2 Petrus]], [[2 Yohanes]], [[3 Yohanes]], [[Surat Yudas]], [[Kitab Wahyu|Wahyu]]), sudah menjadi bentuk Pesyita standar pada awal abad ke-5.
The [[New Testament]] of the Peshitta, which originally excluded certain disputed books ([[Second Epistle of Peter]], [[Second Epistle of John]], [[Third Epistle of John]], [[Epistle of Jude]], [[Book of Revelation]]), had become the standard by the early 5th century.

Ada bukti sastrawi maupun arkeologi mengenai keberadaan citra-citra religius di dalam gereja. Pada tahun 1248, seorang pejabat [[Armenia]] di [[Samarkand]] menulis laporan kunjungannya ke sebuah gereja di kota itu dan melihat sendiri sebuah gambar Kristus dan orang-orang Majus. Dalam laporannya mengenai 1330 jiwa umat Suryani Timur di [[Khanbaliq]], Yohanes dari Kora ({{lang|it|Giovanni di Cori|italic=no}}), Uskup [[Sultaniyah]] Ritus latin di Persia, menyebutkan bahwa mereka memiliki ‘gereja-gereja yang sangat indah dan apik, lengkap dengan salib-salib dan gambar-gambar untuk memuliakan Tuhan dan orang-orang kudus’.<ref name=ICE /> Selain keterangan-keterangan tersebut, ada pula [[lukisan seorang tokoh Kristen Nestorian]] (kemungkinan besar gambar Kristus) yang ditemukan [[Aurel Stein]] pada tahun 1908 di Gua Perpustakaan, salah satu dari gua-[[gua Mogao]].
There is both literary and archaeological evidence for the presence of images in the church. Writing in 1248 from [[Samarkand]], an [[Armenia|Armenian]] official records visiting a local church and seeing an image of Christ and the Magi. John of Cora ({{lang|it|Giovanni di Cori|italic=no}}), Latin bishop of [[Sultaniya]] in Persia, writing about 1330 of the East Syrians in [[Khanbaliq]] says that they had ‘very beautiful and orderly churches with crosses and images in honour of God and of the saints’.<ref name=ICE /> Apart from the references, there is a [[painting of a Nestorian Christian figure]] which was discovered by [[Aurel Stein]] at the Library Cave of the [[Mo-kao Caves]] in 1908, which is probably an image of Christ.

Meskipun umat Kristen Nestorian mengaku sebagai kelanjutan dari jemaat Kristen Perdana yang terbentuk pada abad pertama Masehi, Gereja di Timur pertama kali mendapatkan pengakuan resmi dari pemerintah Kemaharajaan Sasani pada abad ke-4, tatkala [[Yazdegerd I]] (menjabat 399–420) naik takhta. [[Sinode Seleukia-Ktesifon]] yang diselenggarakan di ibu kota Kemaharajaan Sasani pada tahun 410 membenarkan uskup-uskup Gereja di Timur untuk memilih seorang [[Katolikos di Timur|katolikos]] (pemimpin) resmi. [[Katolikos]] [[Ishak dari Seleukia-Ktesifon|Ishak]] diwajibkan memimpin jemaat Kristen Asyur sekaligus menjadi penyambung lidah mereka di hadapan [[Daftar kepala monarki Kekaisaran Sasani|para syahansyah Sasani]].{{sfn|Fiey|1970}}{{sfn|Chaumont|1988}}
Although the Nestorian community traced their history to the 1st century AD, the Church of the East first achieved official state recognition from the Sasanian Empire in the 4th century with the accession of [[Yazdegerd I]] (reigned 399–420) to the throne of the [[Sasanian Empire]]. In 410 the [[Synod of Seleucia-Ctesiphon]], held at the Sasanian capital, allowed the church's leading bishops to elect a formal [[Catholicose of the East|Catholicos]] (leader). Catholicos [[Isaac (patriarch)|Isaac]] was required both to lead the Assyrian Christian community and to answer on its behalf to the [[List of shahanshahs of the Sasanian Empire|Sasanian emperor]].{{sfn|Fiey|1970}}{{sfn|Chaumont|1988}}
 
Di bawah tekanan syahansyah Sasani, Gereja di Timur kian lama kian menjarak dari [[Pentarki]] (saat itu dikenal sebagai Gereja [[Kekaisaran Romawi Timur]]). Oleh karena itu, pada tahun 424, uskup-uskup di Kemaharajaan Sasani bersidang di bawah pimpinan Katolikos [[Dadisyo]] (421–456) dan sepakat untuk seterusnya tidak merujuk kepada pihak berwenang mana pun di luar negeri dalam urusan-urusan tata tertib maupun teologi, khususnya kepada uskup atau konsili Gereja di [[Kekaisaran Romawi]].{{sfn|Hill|1988|p=105}}
Under pressure from the Sasanian Emperor, the Church of the East sought to increasingly distance itself from the [[Pentarchy]] (at the time being known as the church of the [[Eastern Roman Empire]]). Therefore, in 424, the bishops of the Sasanian Empire met in council under the leadership of Catholicos [[Dadisho|Dadishoʿ]] (421–456) and determined that they would not, henceforth, refer disciplinary or theological problems to any external power, and especially not to any bishop or church council in the [[Roman Empire]].{{sfn|Hill|1988|p=105}}

Kontroversi teologis yang timbul seusai [[Konsili Efesus]] tahun 431 terbukti menjadi salah satu tonggak sejarah Gereja. Konsili Efesus membidatkan Kristologi [[Nestorius]], lantaran keengganannya memuliakan Perawan Maria dengan gelar ''[[Theotokos|Teotokos]]'' (Pelahir [[Tuhan]]) dijadikan bukti bahwa ia percaya ada dua pribadi terpisah (alih-alih dua kodrat manunggal) di dalam diri Kristus.
The theological controversy that followed the [[Council of Ephesus]] in 431 proved a turning point in the Christian Church's history. The Council condemned as heretical the Christology of [[Nestorius]], whose reluctance to accord the Virgin Mary the title ''[[Theotokos]]'' "God-bearer, Mother of God" was taken as evidence that he believed two separate persons (as opposed to two united natures) to be present within Christ. (For the theological issues at stake, see ''[[#Assyrian Church of the East and Nestorianism|Assyrian Church of the East and Nestorianism]]''.)
 
Syahansyah Sasani yang memusuhi Romawi Timur memanfaatkan kontroversi ini sebagai kesempatan untuk membina umat Kristen Persia menjadi kawula yang setia kepada negara, sehingga memutuskan untuk mendukung [[skisma Nestorian]]. Syahansyah mengambil langkah-langkah untuk menjadikan para pengikut Nestorius sebagai golongan utama di dalam lingkup Gereja Asyur di Timur dengan memberi suaka kepada mereka,{{sfn|Outerbridge|1952}} menghukum mati Katolikos [[Babowai]] yang pro-Romawi pada tahun 484, dan menggantinya dengan [[Barsauma]], Uskup [[Nusaybin|Nisibis]] yang berhaluan Nestorian. Katolikos-Batrik [[Babai (Batrik Nestorian)|Babai]] (497–503) mengukuhkan keterkaitan Gereja Asyur dengan Nestorianisme.
The Sasanian Emperor, hostile to the Byzantines, saw the opportunity to ensure the loyalty of his Christian subjects and lent support to the [[Nestorian Schism]]. The Emperor took steps to cement the primacy of the Nestorian party within the Assyrian Church of the East, granting its members his protection,{{sfn|Outerbridge|1952}} and executing the pro-Roman Catholicos [[Babowai]] in 484, replacing him with the Nestorian Bishop of [[Nusaybin|Nisibis]], [[Barsauma]]. The Catholicos-Patriarch [[Babai (Nestorian patriarch)|Babai]] (497–503) confirmed the association of the Assyrian Church with Nestorianism.

==Schisms==
 
From the middle of the 16th century, and throughout following two centuries, the Church of the East was affected by several internal [[schism]]s. Some of those schisms were caused by individuals or groups who chose to accept union with the [[Catholic Church]]. Other schisms were provoked by rivalry between various fractions within the Church of the East. Lack of internal unity and frequent change of allegiances led to the creation and continuation of separate patriarchal lines. In spite of many internal challenges, and external difficulties (political oppression by [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] authorities and frequent persecutions by local non-Christians), the traditional branches of the Church of the East managed to survive that tumultuous period and eventually consolidate during the 19th century in the form of the [[Assyrian Church of the East]]. At the same time, after many similar difficulties, groups united with the Catholic Church were finally consolidated into the [[Chaldean Catholic Church]]
 
===Schism of 1552===

===The Eliya and Shimun lines===
This new Catholic line founded by Sulaqa maintained its seat at [[Amid]] and is known as the "Shimun" line. Wilmshurst suggests that their adoption of the name Shimun (after [[Simon Peter]]) was meant to point to the legitimacy of their Catholic line.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=23}} Sulaqa's successor, [[Abdisho IV Maron]] (1555&ndash;1570) visited Rome and his Patriarchal title was confirmed by the Pope in 1562.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=22-23}} At some point, he moved to [[Seert]].
 
The Eliya-line Patriarch Shemon VII Ishoyahb (1539–1558), who resided in the [[Rabban Hormizd Monastery]] near [[Alqosh]], continued to actively oppose union with Rome, and was succeeded by his nephew [[Eliya VI|Eliya]] (designated as Eliya "VII" in older historiography,{{sfn|Tisserant|1931|p=261-263}}{{sfn|Fiey|1993|p=37}} but renumbered as Eliya "VI" in recent scholarly works).{{sfn|Murre van den Berg|1999|p=243-244}}{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=116, 174}}{{sfn|Hage|2007|p=473}} During his Patriarchal tenure, from 1558 to 1591, the Church of the East preserved its traditional christology and full ecclesiastical independence.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=22, 42 194, 260, 355}}
 
The next Shimun Patriarch was likely [[Yahballaha IV]], who was elected in 1577 or 1578 and died within two years before seeking or obtaining confirmation from Rome.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=23}} According to Tisserant, problems posed by the "Nestorian" traditionalists and the Ottoman authorities prevented any earlier election of a successor to Abdisho.{{sfn|Tisserant|1931|p=230}} David Wilmshurst and Heleen Murre believe that, in the period between 1570 and the patriarchal election of Yahballaha, he or another of the same name was looked on as Patriarch.{{sfn|Murre van den Berg|1999|p=252-253}} Yahballaha's successor, [[Shimun IX Dinkha]] (1580-1600), who moved away from Turkish rule to [[Salmas]] on [[Lake Urmia]] in Persia,{{sfn|Baum|Winkler|2003|p=114}} was officially confirmed by the Pope in 1584.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=23-24}} There are theories that he appointed his nephew, [[Shimun X Eliyah]] (1600&ndash;1638) as his successor, but others argue that his election was independent of any such designation.{{sfn|Murre van den Berg|1999|p=252-253}} Regardless, from then until the 21st century the Shimun line employed a hereditary system of succession &ndash; the rejection of which was part of the reason for the creation of that line in the first place.
Baris 259:
In 1771, [[Eliya XI]] (XII) and his designated successor (the future [[Eliya XII]] (XIII) Isho{{transl|ar|DIN|ʿ}}yahb) made a profession of faith that was accepted by Rome, thus establishing communion. By then, acceptance of the Catholic position was general in the [[Mosul]] area. When [[Eliya XI]] (XII) died in 1778, [[Eliya XII]] (XIII) made a renewed profession of Catholic faith and was recognised by Rome as Patriarch of Mosul, but in May 1779 renounced that profession in favor of the traditional faith. His younger cousin [[Yohannan VIII Hormizd|Yohannan Hormizd]] was locally elected to replace him in 1780, but for various reasons was recognised by Rome only as Metropolitan of Mosul and Administrator of the Catholics of the Alqosh party, having the powers of a Patriarch but not the title or insignia. When [[Joseph IV (Chaldean Patriarch)|Joseph IV]] of the Amid Patriarchate resigned in 1780, Rome likewise made his nephew, [[Joseph V Augustine Hindi|Augustine Hindi]], whom he wished to be his successor, not Patriarch but Administrator. No one held the title of Chaldean Catholic patriarch for the next 47 years.
