«The Assyrian Apostolic Church of the East belongs to the Oriental Orthodox family of churches in the Syrian tradition. The word „Assyrian“ was applied to them by the English (Anglican) missionaries of the 19th century (1885—1915) who first established a western mission among them (Coakley 1992), and wished to avoid the pejorative term „Nestorian“ that had often been applied to them, so as to signal their different theological stance from both the Non-Chalcedonian Orthodox Miaphysite Churches (pejoratively called the Monophysites) and the Eastern Orthodox Chalcedonians.» — Assyrian Apostolic Church of the EastАрхівавана 18 мая 2015., by JOHN A.

So i seldom use the term Orthodox Church and prefer to refer Orthodox Churches, qualifying this with rather cumbersome adjectives like Chalcedonian or non-Chalcedonian. In spite of the fact that there are serious divisions within them, they share common roots historical experiences and cultural expressions» — An Introduction to the Christian Orthodox Churches (Introduction to Religion), by John Binns — Published July 4th 2002 by Cambridge University Press
