“The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” (Acts 11:26). The Syriac Orthodox Church in Antioch traces its roots to the dawn of Christianity. The Church of Antioch is considered the second established church after Jerusalem, according to the ecclesiastical history of Christendom. Since 1960, the Syriac Orthodox Church has been a member of the World Council of Churches. It is one of the founding members of the Middle East Council of Churches. From dialogues with other churches, the Church has issued two joint declarations with the Roman Catholic Church and another with the Eastern Orthodox churches.
