	Miaphysitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Miaphysitism is the christology of the Oriental Orthodox Churches.
		Miaphysitism holds that in Jesus Christ, Divinity and humanity are united in one "nature" ("physis"), the two being united without separation, without confusion, and without change.
		As Nestorianism had its roots in the Antiochene tradition and was opposed by the Alexandrian tradition, it took hold in Syria among those who wanted to distance themselves from the extremes of Nestorianism, and in Egypt, among those who wished to uphold the integrity of their theological position.

		Miaphysitism, the "monophysite" Christology of extant "monophysite" Churches, holds that in Christ the divine and human nature become one nature, the natures being united without separation, without confusion, and without change.
		That doctrine, meanwhile, as well as being spread through the liturgy, was disseminated within the community through a network of schools that reached down to the village level and taught the Antiochene theology of Theodore of Mopsuestia rendered into Syriac and made accessible to the uneducated through hymns.
		The monasteries were another major factor in the formation of a Nestorian identity, for the monks were vigorous teachers and proselytisers, and acutely aware of the difference between themselves and the Miaphysites, from whom they distinguished themselves even in their costume and tonsure.

	Oriental Orthodoxy
		The separation resulted in part from the Oriental Orthodox churches' refusal to accept the Christological dogmas promulgated by the Council of Chalcedon, which held that Jesus has two natures -- one divine and one human.
		The Oriental Orthodox churches are therefore often called Monophysite churches, although they reject this label, prefering the term "non-Chalcedonian" or "Miaphysite" churches.
		The Oriental Orthodox Communion is a group of churches within Oriental Orthodoxy which are in full communion with each other.

		The smaller northern kingdom of Nobadia became miaphysite; the larger kingdom of Makkuria adopted melkite Orthodoxy.
		The first of these to leave a significant imprint in history was Mercurius I, who (whether to please his Nobadian subjects or to assert his independence from Constantinople) adopted miaphysitism as the state religion.
		To mention one important omission: there was also a separate miaphysite kingdom of Alwah or Alodia, centred near Khartoum, about which very little seems to be known.

	VAN ROMPAY: Book Review - Pauline Allen and C.T.R. Hayward, Severus of Antioch
		Severus’s leadership, which lasted 26 years, was of crucial importance for the formation and consolidation of the anti-Chalcedonian, Miaphysite movement.
		In the broader historical sketch of the Miaphysite resistance to the Council of Chalcedon one might have preferred to see a bit more nuance in the description of Justinian and Theodora in their alleged roles of opponent and supporter of the anti-Chalcedonians, respectively.
		The Miaphysites’ alienation and separation from the imperial church should rather be seen as a gradual process, spanning the entire sixth and even part of the seventh centuries.

		Those who disagreed with the Council of Chalcedon are sometimes called "Oriental Orthodox" to distinguish them from the Eastern Orthodox, who accepted the Council of Chalcedon.
		The Oriental Orthodox are also sometimes referred to as "monophysites" or "non-Chalcedonians", although today the Coptic Orthodox Church denies that it is monophysite and prefers the term "miaphysite", to denote the "joined" nature of Christ.
		An important symbol for the eastern Orthodoxy and its spread north to the Slavic peoples was the construction in the 530s of Hagia Sophia, a most impressive church building in Constantinople, under emperor Justinian I.

		They proclaimed Christ as the Word of God Incarnate, thus the proper title of Mary is the bearer of God (Theotokos) and that Christ is fully God and true human, that the two natures in Christ, were united though distinct.
		In the last decades, with renewed study, has led many scholars of all denominations to suggest that the Oriental 'miaphysite' churches, though appear monophysite may be more the result of confused linguistic and philosophic terminology rather than true belief in a single diffused nature in Christ, deleting any actual contradiction in belief.
		Such a long journey of fifteen centuries into unity is hardly believable to many, is in fact, a fruit of studies represented by similar scholars who promoted translation, examination and study of primary documents.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Books \| Discrepancies of doctrine
		In this latest book, Meinardus has adopted a new terminology, dropping the word "Monophysite" in favour of "Miaphysite".
		The former was used in Christian Egypt, Ancient and Modern to describe the doctrine put forward by Athanasius at the Council of Nicea when he declared "Christ to be consubstantial and co-eternal with God the Father" (that is, God is of One Nature in the person of Christ).
		Miaphysite, on the other hand, (a term which incidentally does not appear in the Index) is introduced here on pages 39/40, but we have to wait until page 123 of this tightly-printed tome to discover why.

		They have sometimes called the Chalcedonian group "dyophysites".
		A term that comes closer to Coptic doctrine is "miaphysite", which refers to a conjoined nature for Christ, both human and divine, united indivisibility in the Incarnation.
		Since the 1980s theologians from the two groups have been meeting to try to resolve the theological differences, and have concluded that many of the differences are caused because the two groups use different terminology to describe the same thing.

	VAN ROMPAY: Mallpânâ dilan Suryâyâ - Ephrem in the Works of Philoxenus of Mabbog: Respect and Distance
		[1] By expressing their preference for the term “Miaphysite” to characterize their Christological teaching, the Oriental Orthodox Churches of the anti-Chalcedonian tradition emphasize their indebtedness to Cyril of Alexandria, whose formula “one nature (mia physis) of God the Word having become flesh” is indeed the cornerstone of their theological tradition.
		Quoting passages from the Fathers, combining them and commenting on them, the author unfolds his Miaphysite understanding of the Incarnation.
		Blessed Ephrem had this same attitude with regard to the union of the two natures when he wrote “they were mingled” instead of “they were united” and again, when he wrote “and the image became God-man” instead of “(God) was incarnated and inhumanized.”41

		The creed became standard orthodox doctrine, while the church of Alexandria dissented, holding to Cyril's formula of the oneness of Christ’s nature as the incarnation of God the Word.
		In the last thirty years, however, the miaphysite position has been accepted as a mere restatement of orthodox belief by Patriarch Bartholemew of the Eastern Orthodox Church and by Pope John Paul II of the Roman Catholic Church.
		We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood;

		However, as we’ve seen even here in these discussions, a rejection of Chalcedon is often taken as a cornerstone of belief by some such groups.
		Perhaps ‘miaphysite’ is best, as it describes a group by ascription to a theological term actually held and honoured; but even this has its opponents.
		I might point out that in questions of discussing the various Orthodox churches, the qualifiers ‘Chalcedonian’ and ‘non-Chalcedonian’ are more appropriate, as several churches employ the adjective ‘Orthodox’ in their titles, which are not in communion with one another.

		They were often interpreted as saying that Christ has only 1 nature, whereas the orthodox view is that Christ is 1 person in 2 natures.
		Personally I think they ought to be called 'Miaphysite' (which can be understood in an orthodox sense) but that's a long story.
		The Catholic Church has signed many agreements with the Coptic Church, including a Common Christological Declaration.

		Although most of the attendants in the council were convinced by what Dioscorus had said, there was a premeditated intention to limit the authority of Dioscorus and they insisted on holding another council.

		A more comprehensive overview would show more complicated relationships among denominations and traditions.
		Among various disparate groups, this would include categorizing the Miaphysite Oriental Orthodox Churches and the allegedly Nestorian Assyrian Church of the East as branches distinct from the Chalcedonian Christianity of most of the West (Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism).
		Groups with restorationist beliefs – including the Churches of Christ, some Anabaptists, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and others – sometimes regard themselves as entirely separate from Protestantism, with which they have often been included.
