The Apostolic Church of the East is the name of the variety of Patriarchal Hosianism that rejects the Council of Auroria. The Church was founded in 3412, following the Synod of Aldegaria that reunited the Hobrazian Orthodox Church and the Patriarchal Church (Eastern Rite), which had become separated in the 9th-10th centuries. The Church is distinguished by its Unitarian theology, according to which the Spirit of God is not a distinct person participating in the Godhead, but is the power of God and the means by which He becomes immanent in Creation (while God Himself is fully transcendental).
