In the 5th century in Christianity, there were many developments which led to further fracturing of the State church of the Roman Empire.
 Emperor Theodosius II called two synods in Ephesus, one in 431 and one in 449, that addressed the teachings of Patriarch of Constantinople Nestorius and similar teachings.
 Nestorius had taught that Christ's divine and human nature were distinct persons, and hence Mary was the mother of Christ but not the mother of God.
 The Council rejected Nestorius' view causing many churches, centered on the School of Edessa, to a Nestorian break with the imperial church.
 Persecuted within the Roman Empire, many Nestorians fled to Persia and joined the Sassanid Church (the future Church of the East) thereby making it a center of Nestorianism.
 By the end of the 5th century, the global Christian population was estimated at 10-11 million.
 In 451 the Council of Chalcedon was held to clarify the issue further.
 The council ultimately stated that Christ's divine and human nature were separate but both part of a single entity, a viewpoint rejected by many churches who called themselves miaphysites.
 The resulting schism created a communion of churches, including the Armenian, Syrian, and Egyptian churches, that is today known as Oriental Orthodoxy.
 In spite of these schisms, however, the imperial church still came to represent the majority of Christians within the Roman Empire.
