O que é: A Igreja Apostólica Armênia não recebeu Calcedônia como concílio normativo para sua tradição.

Como a tradição entende: A recusa está ligada à percepção de que determinadas fórmulas poderiam comprometer a unidade do Cristo encarnado, além de fatores históricos e políticos do contexto.

Base e contexto: O tema é central para distinguir a igreja dentro das famílias cristãs antigas.

Debates e variações: Em diálogo ecumênico moderno, há tentativas de mostrar proximidades cristológicas mais profundas do que a polêmica antiga fazia parecer.
