@cvhgx I am not familiar with both Aramaic and Assyrian language, but the hymn book there is written in Assyrian. They sang in Assyrian. For that reason, I guess, the language of praying should be Assyrian, too.
@cvhgx I cannot predict the destiny of the Western Christianity, but no doubt the center of Christianity is quickly shifting from the West to the non-Wester world like Asia, Africa and Latin America.
hi! i am a latin rite catholic, i have no argument against orthodox christians since i figured out that there is only slight theological issues that both sister churches must settle,let's hope and pray through the intercession of Mama Mary the reconcilliation of our churche. GBU
@kkohara Unfortunately Nestorianist were suppressed and substituded by Roman Catholism and nowadays there's no longer any Nestorianism Tradition in China anymore. I regret for that. Seeing this, I'm very happy that Nestorianism is well-preserved in Iran.
@YohanCn Thank you for informing me of the history of the Nestorian in China. I have been interested in the religious history in China because it has tremendously influenced the Japanese society. The Nestorian had flourished in China at some times, but they could not survive due to the political pressure and persecution. The Nestorian in Iran might seem to be well-preserved, in actuality they are always suffering from various kinds of discriminations according to its members I had interviewed.
@kkohara One one hand they were facing pressure, onthe other hand they were facing competetion from Catholics. It's likely Nestorians face various kinds of discriminations in Iran, just like any minority over the world. Muslim also face discriminations in UK.
Definitely: this is the Cathedral of the Chaldean Catholic Church diocese of Tehran. The Chaldean Catholic Church belongs to the Catholic Church, under the guidance of Pope Benedict XVI. (Infos from GigaCatholic Information). His Excellency Archbishop Ramzi Garmou is the President of the Iranian conference of Catholic bishops.
@donhenri01 Listen carefully, in Iran Assyrians will never call them self's Chaldean. they are Assyrian Catholics! Chaldean's are Assyrian that have been brainwashed by the catholic church since 1515. Priests lie, but history does not.
@donhenri01, When it comes to my people i will be, no one has the right to change the name of my people to something else! And no i don't have a problem with Catholics, but like i said people lie, and i don't care if they are priests, they are human like the rest of us, and people sin and lie. All people that speak Syriac are Assyrian!
P.s i lived in Rome, and i attended catholic church all the time, and i even seen the late great pope john Paul II, but i am Orthodox till death!!!
May God bless your church .I am a member of catholic church ( oriental rite of Syro Malabar) in S India (Kerala state )we are following the Chaldean Liturgy. (Assyrian Eastern Syriac) I wish all goodness an prosperity to Iranian Church in future
same to you brother! in adam we are dead but in christ we live for ever. we suffer here and you suffer in india but one day our suffering shall bear its fruits!
This is not the Church of the East this is Assyrian Catholic Church. They are not under Mar Din Kha we have saints but we dont have them displayed in church.
Are you certain that this is an Assyrian Church of the East church. There are pictures of saints in this church, the Assyrian Church of the East prohibits such displays.
I am not familiar with Assyrian Church in general, but according to the priests there, this church is an Assyrian and now belongs to the Catholic church. It seems that they have a bit complicated history.
finajet, These are Assyrian minorities who live in Iran. Assyrians are among the oldest christian communities in the world and are descendents of the Ancient Assyrian empire. They are dispersed throughout various parts of the world and no longer have a their own country. they are however some of the most bad ass people you will ever meet...how do I know you ask?...I'm one of them.
"shrinking community"
bullshit...every time I go outside I see Christians everywhere
