The Church of the East began in the first century when early missionaries established churches in what is now Iraq. In the 5th century a bishop named Nestorius had a falling out with the pope because he wouldn't preach that Mary was divine. Since Nestorius was from the East, all the churches in the East were labelled "Nestorians" and heretics by the Catholic church, even though they had no heretical beliefs. In the 1980's the pope apologized to the patriarch of the Church of the East for this unfair treatment. Today they are known as Chaldeans or Assyrian Christians and are severely persecuted.

The Nestorians began in the Near East, particularly in the regions of Persia and Mesopotamia, as followers of Nestorius, the Archbishop of Constantinople. They developed their own distinctive theological beliefs that were eventually declared heretical by the Christian church.

I respect people's diverse beliefs and understand that for some, starting with a spiritual thought or prayer is important for setting the tone of the meeting.
