===History of the Armenian Apostolic Church===
* According to religious tradition, the Apostles Thaddeus and Bartholomew introduced Christianity to Armenia in the first century.
* Armenia would become the first country to adopt Christianity as a state religion, in AD 301, when St. Gregory the Illuminator, a missionary from Caesarea, converted the king of Armenia, Trdat IV, to Christianity.
===Armenian Apostolic Church Doctrine===
The Armenian Church accepts the first three ecumenical councils which are as follows:
* [[First Council of Nicaea]]
* [[Council of Constantinople]]
* [[Council of Ephesus]]
However, the Armenian Church did not accept the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
The Armenian Apostolic Church has Miaphysitism (or henophysitism) as a key belief, which holds that in the one person of Jesus Christ, Divinity and Humanity are united in one "nature" ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without alteration.[1]
