The "Ancient Church of the East Schism" refers to a historic split within the Christian Church that occurred in the 16th century. It involved a faction breaking away from the Church of the East, also known as the Assyrian Church of the East, due to disagreements over religious leadership and the recognition of certain ecumenical councils. This schism resulted in the formation of a separate branch of the Church known as the Ancient Church of the East.
