Talk:Syriac Christianity

message: I think this artilce should have some referance to the Syrian Christians of Kerala.
The Nasrani's or St Thomas Christians are popularly called Syrian Christians.I think a paragrahp needs to be added to reflect the reality of Syrian Christians.

thread_title: Requested move of interest

message: Some users are mis-understanding this article. This article is not about Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Christianity alone, but rather all Syriac-Speaking Churches, which includes Assyrian-based Churches as well. So please stop removing the template. Chaldean (talk) 04:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Triz, that is only you who is getting that impression. The article in the beginning specifically states that Syriac Christianity is splite into multiple Churches. But whatever, if you feel offended  by it (unbelievable), I will remove it. Chaldean (talk) 19:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I see no reason why the Nav BOx should not appear on this article. It links to this page and does not suggest all Syriac-Speaking Churches are Assyrian-based Churches. I will re-add it. The article is quite clear on the scope. Is there another reason why the box should not be here? -- Secisek (talk) 08:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: If the reader reads the first few sentances they will not be confused by the time the get to the bottom where the box is. There is no reason why there can't be more boxes from the other peoples. If they link to the page they should be on here. Where are the other boxes? -- Secisek (talk) 10:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: If they link here, they should be on the page. And as for me being a  besserwiesser, you are the one saying we need to add more templates on the page, and then respond by telling me they don't exist. Some in fact do, such as , which does NOT link here. Nobody will get confused, the article is quite clear. The box can and should stay. -- Secisek (talk) 11:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Scope of Article

message: "Undoubtedly, Syrian Christians of India are amongst the oldest Christians on our globe." What does this even mean? And when someone says "undoubtedly", there are going to be doubts. Why should a group in India be older than the well-documented histories of Christians in the Roman Empire? And if they aren't older than that, how can they claim to be "amongst the oldest"?

message: I am afraid the ethnic war has reached this article. What those ethnic warriors do is that they keep alternatively editing the article to impose their POV by force.77.44.210.15 (talk) 12:19, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Ethnic warriors finally reached the article

message: This technical content of this debate is not a trivial issue, but what is clear at first glance is that 77.44.210.15 is overstepping WP:AGF and civility guidelines by accusing Rafy of vandalism, etc. If the IP is a puppet, that should be looked into, but as is the IP's conduct calls for a warning, which I will hereby issue. And I do not know why Euphrates can not be mentioned. I am not an expert on this topic, but as a casual observer, that river is famous and there is no need to delete it.

replies: text: Thanks for your response. Hope that it gets more peaceful here. Both "East of the Euphrates" and "Mesopotamia" work fine imho, and I don't really mind whether anon insists on replacing one for the other.--Rafy talk 11:34, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I dont know why you deleded the topic of Aramean Free Church???
There´s a Aramean Free Church in the World the member are called from the Syriacs in arab. Mumin, aram. Mhamyne!!!Please reverse that!!!!Thanks Tavdi!
:Google says there is no such a church as all hits are mirrors from a deleted wikipedia article. How is the church called in German or Swedish? How many adherents do they have?--Rafy talk 10:33, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In German that would be Aramäische Freikirche (or perhaps Aramäische Freie Kirche) and in Swedish Arameiska Frikyrkan. Either one gives no hits. If such a church exists at all, it is well below the radar of notability. There are a few hits for Aramäische Freie Christengemeinde, but none that I see from reliable sources.  --Lambiam 13:57, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Unicode has characters for both the Western and Eastern Syriac crosses (♰ ♱), hex 2670 and 2671. Please could these crosses be mentioned in the article, ideally with comment about the theological meaning of their parts? JDAWiseman (talk) 21:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Syriac Crosses (♰ ♱) 

message: The map of east syriac metropolitan sees shows two locations of Syriac artifacts in Korea and Japan, both at major religious sites (Gyeongju and Koryuji Temple). I could find extremely little to corroborate either of these, but both seem to be actually legitimate claims. Specifically, Soongsil Unviersity's Korean Christian Musuem displays two artifacts it says to be Christian, a small stone cross and small figurine it says depicts the virgin Mary, said to have been unearthed at the Bulguksa Temple. Likewise (much less reliably) It is suggested by a few that Koryu-ji has a small number of artifacts predating the arrival of Buddhism to Japan. One website cites one "Sakae Ikeda" as suggesting the Hata clan were actually migrants who brought Nestorianism to Japan (I can find no reference to this specific Sakae Ikeda). It also cites one "Yoshiro Saeki" making a similar claim. it also contains one image of stone, in black and white, depicting an image of a cross and some other inscription or carving which is heavily eroded. I could find no possible source for this image and reverse image searching led me to conclude it is an upside down picture of a legitimate Sogdian inscription upon sandalwood, an artifact which is apparent located in Horyu-ji temple according to the Smithsonian. It appears that the usage on buddhismtoday's article (which seems highly unreliable) significantly predates the Smithsonian's usage of the image. Of these two, Gyeongju seems to be the only claim with any real evidence backing it, so I would suggest editing the "Koryuji Crosses" out of the image. 2600:4040:532C:2400:BD82:259B:A75A:A63A (talk) 01:27, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
