I've been reading up a little bit on the history of the St. Thomas Christians in India and I'm confused about something.
Both the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church and the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church are Oriental Orthodox in faith: they both confess miaphysitism and they both make use of the Western Syrian rite...
... so why are there two Oriental Orthodox Churches in India? Are they in communion with each other? If not, which one is in communion with all the other Oriental Orthodox Churches (the Copts, the Armenians, the Ethiopians, the Syriacs)...
What's going on here?
