| has gloss | eng: The Nestorian Schism was the split between the Orthodox Church and churches affiliated with Nestorian doctrine in the 5th century. The schism rose out of a Christological dispute, the key figures in which were Clement of Alexandria and Nestorius. Nestorius and his doctrine, which emphasized the distinctness between Christs human and divine natures, were condemned at the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and the Council of Chalcedon. Afterward churches affiliated with Nestorius teachings broke with the Orthodox church, thereby establishing Nestorianism as a distinct Christian sect. |
