| The Oriental Orthodox churches rejected the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon. |
| The separation resulted in part from the Oriental Orthodox churches' refusal to accept the Christological dogmas promulgated by the Council of Chalcedon, which held that Jesus Christ has two natures — one divine and one human, although these were inseparable and only act as one hypostasis. |
