Bogdan si Orthodoxia.i.thanatos, uitati aici ceva interesant:
How do you define our relationship with... the Syriac Church: are we in communion with the so-called on-Chalcedonians?...
We are not in communion with the Syriac Church or the other so-called non-Chalcedonians. We do, however, have a special relationship with the Syriac Church, especially in the Middle East. There are many towns, especially in northern Syria, where only one parish exists, be it theirs or ours. There may be no other parish for many miles. In those cases, we allow marriages, for example, to take place in each other’s churches, as well as shared communion, etc. This is a special agreement between the Patriarchate of Antioch and the Syriac Church.
