Oriental Orthodoxy
is the faith of those Christian churches which as a rule recognize only the first three
ecumenical councils
– the
First Council of Nicaea
, the
First Council of Constantinople
, and the
First Council of Ephesus
. The Assyrian church (The Church of the East) recognizes the
First Council of Nicaea
and the
First Council of Constantinople
as legitimate ecumenical councils, other councils being the respected councils of its sister Latin church and Eastern Orthodox churches in the West. There are approximately 84 million adherents worldwide.
