The Armenian Apostolic Church (sometimes called the Armenian Orthodox Church) is the world's oldest national church having been founded in 301. The Apostolic Church separated from the then-still-united Roman Catholic/Byzantine Orthodox church in 451, after the [[Image:DCP 4427.jpg|thumb|The main Council of Chalcedon]] over the issue of the [[church buildingnature of Christ]] . It is in communion with the other [[EchmiadzinEastern Oriental]].churches including the [[Coptic Church]].
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]{{linksstub}} ==Quotes== ==Links==
