Non-Chalcedonian x Church Jurisdictions Orthodo Denominations

Some of the original Orthodox Church jurisdictions never accepted the Council of Chalcedon of AD 451. They are therefore called Non-Chalcedonian Orthodox. Sometimes they are also called the Oriental Orthodox. The Non-Chalcedonian Orthodox include the Coptic, Armenian, Syrian, Ethiopian, and the Malankara Indian Churches.[Note: Parts of this description are based on the excellent information available in the Encyclopedia Coptica at http://pharos.bu.edu/cn/]
