East Syriac Christianity refers to the teachings and doctrines of the 
Church of the East, who split from mainstream 
Christianity following the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD. He went East, didn't write home, and somehow ended up preaching in China while being called a heretic by 
Rome and 
Constantinople. Born out of 
early Christian communities in the Mesopotamia region of the 
Persian Empire, this branch of Christianity took the road not taken by 
Catholicism and 
Orthodoxy (literally). He marched eastward, dodging both popes and emperors, and planted crosses as far as 
India, 
Mongolia, and 
China.

Zoroastrian kings and later, 
Muslim caliphates.
