Oriental Orthodoxy

The Oriental Orthodox Communion refers to the churches of the Eastern Christian traditions that agree with only the first three ecumenical councils but reject the the fourth ecumenical council, the Council of Chalcedon. These churches include the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Coptic Church and the Syriac Orthodox Church. Thus, despite the potentially confusing name, Oriental Orthodox churches are completely separate from the Eastern Orthodox churches.
