ok this must have been pretty recent. 3 years ago I visited a church of the east, locally. San Jose. I came from a church that had apostolic lines out of the assyrain church of the East. Anyway I was interested in attending to learn more about Aramaic, the Liturgy of the Holy apostles etc. (being a westerner that only had english translations etc.)
Anyway at the time, my bishop and I and my friend were told that by bishop Soro of the area that they were not looking for new members; because of the talks they were having with Rome (were afraid new comers might cause them problems that could affect their negotatiations).
Anyway I knew at the time the local Assyrians were encouraged to visit and fellowship with the Chaldeans with the hope that the two groups would be eventually be unified.
