Nestorian Christianity, also known as the Church of the East or the Assyrian Church of the East, is a branch of Christianity which was the dominant form of Christianity in China for nearly a thousand years before the arrival of Catholicism and Protestantism in the 16th-17th centuries.
The Nestorians were expelled from the Roman Church in the 400s, due to heterodox beliefs about the nature of Christ. By [[638]], the Nestorian Church had spread all the way to [[Tang Dynasty]] China.
