	Antiochian Orthodox Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Antiochian Orthodox Church claims to be one of the five churches that composed the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church before the Great Schism.
		As an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Church, it claims to be the sole legitimate successor to the Christian community founded in Antioch by the Apostles St.
		After it the Oriental Orthodox Syriacs retained their own West Syrian Rite, while those faithful to the Council of Chalcedon and the Byzantine Emperor came to adopt the Byzantine Rite, which the Antiochian Orthodox Church still uses for Divine Liturgy.

	Church of Antioch - OrthodoxWiki
		The Church of Antioch is one of the five patriarchates (i.e., the Pentarchy) that constituted the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church before the schism between Rome and Antioch in 1098, and between Rome and the other patriarchates at around the same general period.
		The schism greatly weakened the Antiochian church, and in 637 when Antioch fell to the Muslim Arabs, the "Greek" church was perceived by the invaders as allied to the Romano-Byzantine enemies of the Arabs.
		Although elements in a number of the Eastern Orthodox Churches have criticized the apparent consensus reached by the representatives at Chambesy, the patriarch and holy synod of the Antiochian Orthodox Church welcomed the agreements as positive moves towards a sharing in the Love of God, and a rejection of the hatred of insubstantial division.

		The Orthodox do assert that a careful study of the history of Christianity will show that the Orthodox Church alone is in complete sacramental, doctrinal, and canonical continuity with the ancient undivided Church as expressed in the seven great Ecumenical Councils.
		The churches in Western Europe, under the authority of the pope at Rome, separated from the churches in the Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) Empire, under the authority of the patriarch (bishop) of Constantinople.

		The Antiochian Archdiocese is also a member of SCOBA and was formerly a member of the National Council of Churches (NCC), but on July 28, 2005, its Archdiocesan Convention voted unanimously to withdraw fully from that organization, thus making it the first of the major Orthodox jurisdictions in the US to do so.

		The separation of what are now called the Oriental Churches, and the Mohamedan invasions, weakened the position of the Eastern Orthodox communities in Syria and Egypt, and the missions in Russia and other Slavic lands adopted the rite of Constantinople in Slavonic.
		After that schism, two rites came to characterize two separate churches; although each continued to admit the legitimacy of the other's rite, and first Rome, and later Orthodoxy, came to include people of the other rite - although under rather different circumstances.
		The "Uniate" Churches were created by considerable pressure, and, perhaps as a result, Orthodox authorities accepted western communities much later, and with some caution.
