Assyrian
\ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)
1: descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur
2: the Assyrians, although representing but one
single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire,
are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle
ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding
hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the
East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.
These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the
Christian Era. No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a
whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from
that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for
the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by
force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made,
from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.
3: the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean,
Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean,
Aturaya, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Malabar, Maronite,
Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian,
Syriani, Suryoye, and Suryoyo — Assyrianism verb |
