In brief, the Church of the East is a Christian denominational body that traces its origins back to the early church. It sometimes calls itself the Assyrian Orthodox Church, but should not be confused with the distinct Syrian Orthodox Church, which is an Eastern oriental body. It is often known as the Nestorian Church, but its theology is not nestorian. Today there are perhaps 500,000 members, mostly in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, USA, and India.
