I was somewhat relieved to read from a Church father, St. Jacob Baradeus of all people, a quote provided by Prof. Charmley here:

Not only does this allude to Chalcedonians and non-Chalcedonians, but even Assyrian Christians. I wonder to myself and think if there are any other quotes anyone knows from our own Oriental Orthodox Church fathers that felt the uselessness in debating Christologies between Churches when all it turned out to be were terminological, not essential differences.
Thank you.

PS The quote by St. Jacob, was this a later quote towards the end of his life after all the disputes he suffered through?
