Church of the East in China

The Church of the East was a Christian organization with a presence in China during two periods: first from the 7th through the 10th century in the Tang dynasty and secondly during the Yuan dynasty. The Church of the East likely became extinct soon after the emergence of the Ming dynasty in 1368.

After centuries of hiatus, the first Assyrian Church of the East Divine Liturgy was celebrated in China in 2010.
