Core tenet of The Church of the East
Christ's two natures remain distinct.
The dyophysite confession, sharpened against Ephesus: fully God and fully man, unconfused.
Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this passage is held
The Church of the East rejected the Council of Ephesus in 431 and its condemnation of Nestorius, holding that Christ's divine and human natures remain distinct rather than being confused in the union. Whether the church was ever genuinely Nestorian in the heretical sense is disputed by scholars, and it has rejected the label. The 1994 Common Christological Declaration with Rome effectively settled the ancient dispute as one of terminology.
