On Whitsunday 2008, three thousand former members of the Assyrian Church of the East and their Bishop, Mar Bawai Soro, were officially received into the Chaldean Rite in communion with the Bishop of Rome.
The Assyrian Church of the East has long enjoyed a positive and unique relationship with the Anglican Communion, which culminated in the Mission of the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Assyrian Church at the turn of the twentieth century. Through the Mission, Anglicans assisted the Assyrian Church in the preservation of her liturgical texts and formularies and in the maintenance of her rich theological tradition and historic religious culture; the Assyrian or East Syrian Rite is one of the most ancient Christian expressions in the world. In 1910, the Assyrian Church proposed sacramental intercommunion with the Anglican Church, but the agreement was never formally ratified.
