 | | The Assyrian Church was the first Christian tradition to reach China (in 635), and about the same time penetrated into Mongolia, and its relics can still be seen in Chinese cities such as Xi'an. |
 | | An inscribed stone, set up in February, 781 at Chou-Chih, fifty miles south-west of Sai-an Fu, at the time the capital of China, describes the introduction of Christianity into China from Persia in the reign of Tang Taizong. |
 | | In addition, a few remain in Iraq, a single parish exists in China, and the church has its headquarters (along with four other houses of worship) in Chicago, Illinois, United States. |
