'''Audonian Christianity''' comprises {{wp|Christian}} traditions and church families that originally developed during classical and late antiquity in northwestern and western [[Audonia]]. The term does not describe a single communion or religious denomination, but does describe a shared current of beliefs and traditions among historic Christians originating in the region. For much of its history, the largest body of Audonian Christianity was the Audonian Church of the East, a Church which had official {{wp|dhimmi}} status within the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] and was lead by the Patriarch of Marand. Prior to the [[Crusades]], this form of Christianity also underwent growth in eastern [[Sarpedon]] as it was viewed by Caliphal authorities to be politically preferable to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] due to its ties to [[Caphiria]] and the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. | '''Audonian Christianity''' comprises {{wp|Christian}} traditions and church families that originally developed during classical and late antiquity in northwestern and western [[Audonia]].

The term "Audonian Christianity" began to be used in the [[Occident]] in the 9th century, and the term was not originally used by its adherents. The term [[Audonia#Name|"Audonian" as a geographical signifier]] originates around the same time and derives from the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Believers would have simply referred to themselves as Christians or Eastern Christians prior to the widespread popularization of the term even among its adherents. | The term "Audonian Christianity" began to be used in the [[Occident]] in the 9th century, and the term was not originally used by its adherents.

The historic Audonian Christian tradition embraced the position of {{wp|Dyophysitism}} and {{wp|Monothelitism}}, with most adherents stating that {{wp|Jesus Christ}} has a fully human and fully divine nature, but only one will. While dyophysitism is the orthodox position most [[Occidental]] churches, monothelitism is contrary to the Occidental orthodox position of {{wp|dyothelitism}}, which teaches the existence of two wills. This position developed gradually in the early 600s as a compromise position between Occidental orthodox positions of the rest of the Christian Church and the growing {{wp|monophysite}} majority of Audonian believers, but the compromise position was condemned by a Church synod held in [[Caphiria]] in 624. Attempts to reconcile the positions were cut short by the rise of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]], and with time monothelitism became entrenched in both Church teaching and the beliefs of the general public. | The historic Audonian Christian tradition embraced the position of {{wp|Dyophysitism}} and {{wp|Monothelitism}}, with most adherents stating that {{wp|Jesus Christ}} has a fully human and fully divine nature, but only one will.

==Liturgy== | |||
Many of the churches and segments of Audonian Christianity practice using ancient Audonian languages, and the {{wp|Liturgy of Saint James|Syriac liturgy}} is most commonly employed. The prevalence of the {{Wp|Arabic language}} by the late 8th century also lead to its adoption in some Audonian liturgical traditions. | |||
