		The Assyrian Church of the East (Nestorian Church) is sometimes considered an Oriental Orthodox Church, although it is not in communion with Oriental Orthodox churches and they have a Nestorian or Nestorian-like Christology that differs from the declaration of the Council of Chalcedon in an opposite way from the Monophysites.

	Agreed Statements of the Oriental and Orthodox Churches
		It should be carefully borne in mind that the Orthodox and Oriental churches, despite current efforts at increased dialogue, remain very much separated and distinct - the issue of monophysitism remaining the primary divisive factor.

		The Churches of both families should be encouraged to look into the theological curriculum and books used in their institutions and make necessary additions and changes in them with the view to promoting better understanding of the other family of Churches.
