[quote="byrnesey"]Does this church really exist? Never heard of it before... It will be interesting to see how long these guys have been using Peshitta.quote]
You know I suspect this a new group. I actually have a little "Church of the East" background myself. I came out of a missionary diocese that started in England, that was started to re-evangelize or re-establish the presence of the Assyrian church of the East in India. So it was basically a bunch of Angelican and other priests that joined the church of the east for that purpose. Learned the Liturgy, theology and other things, etc. Some of which became bishops and were autocephalous, basically seperate from the official assyrian church of the East.
