Shlama Akhi Michael,
The question of the independence of the Church in the Persian empire from the one in the Roman empire is a matter of public record. No Persian bishops were signatories, nor even present, in the councils held in the Roman empire. For instance, at the council of Chalcedon you don't find any signatories from Babylon or Nineveh.
Likewise, no Roman bishops were signatories, nor even present, in the councils held in the Persian empire. For instance, at the council of Markabta you don't find any signatories from Rome or Alexandria.
