When becoming ordained in the Anglican Communion, the ordinate must take a vow subscribing to the first 7 ecumenical councils, which would include the Chalcedonian Council of 451. It is, therefore, also accepted by the Anglican Communion.
Article XXI Of the authority of General Councils General Councils may not be gathered together without the commandment and will of princes. And when they be gathered together, forasmuch as they be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the Spirit and word of God, they may err and sometime have erred, even in things pertaining to God. Wherefore things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be declared that they be taken out of Holy Scripture.
From the above, the authority of this and other Councils is subordinated to the Holy Scriptures. Hence, there are parts of the Council of Chalcedon that may be accepted by Anglicans, and other parts, e.g., "Her virginity was as untouched in giving him birth as it was in conceiving him," from a letter by Pope Leo to Flavian, read in Session 2 of the Council) that cannot be confirmed from Holy Scripture.

Nestorianism did not end at Chalcedon, but continued for many centuries in Mongolia, Tibet and China. The section on Nestorianism is therefore not WP:NPOV. m.e. 07:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
I believe the article references Nestorianism within the Eastern Orthidox Church's official stated beliefs, rather than the beliefs of the world as a whole, or members within the church. I came upon this page by chance, so I am not versed on the history of the Eastern Orthidox Church, but by the wording and what I know of general Christian history this would seem to be the case. The Catholic Church also had periods similar to what you describe, where the church's official stated beliefs differed from segments of it's membership, ultimatly leading to the Protestant Revolution-- Scorpion451 19:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
the Goeorgian Orthodox Church has never been part of the Chalcedonian Oriental Orthodox communion
One is needed to show that the Church of Georgia was at one time part of the Oriental Orthodox Church. Next, a citation is needed to show that "a part of the Armenian Church was a part of the Eastern Orthodox Church". Deusveritasest ( talk) 00:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
A citation is needed to prove that Saint Cyril, in a dogmatic form, stated that it is incorrect to speak of two natures after the union. Deusveritasest ( talk) 05:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
This is a bit hard to nail down to a single quote but perhaps a sufficient citation would be to anathema 3. "If anyone shall after the [hypostatic] union divide the hypostases in the one Christ..." There is an easily accessible translation of the Anathemas at NewAdvent [1]. Does anyone think another or more citations would be needed/helpful? Neotertullian ( talk) 19:12, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Isn't the very first statement of the article "The Council of Chalcedon was the fourth ecumenical council." a violation of NPOV? I know that some Oriental Orthodox would identify the Second Council of Ephesus as the fourth Ecumenical Council, whereas most of them as well as all of the Assyrian Church of the East would claim that there never was a fourth Ecumenical Council. Deusveritasest ( talk) 22:13, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Why is the Old Catholic Church referenced in the second line of the article? This church did not emerge until the 1870s, according to the hyperlinked Wikipedia article. Should the reference be removed, or does it perhaps make reference to some other branch of Catholicism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doc Yak ( talk • contribs) 14:21, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Oops. Never mind. On rereading, I understand the reference. Doc Yak ( talk) 14:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
There's a problem with the last paragraph...
"Rome filed a protest" but "he confirmed the council's canons"
Who does "he" refer to?
Also "growing concerns that...". This phrasing is awkward. It should be "amid growing concerns..." or "because of growing concerns...."

A "citation needed" was added to the claim about Oriental Orthodox agreeing in faith with Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox. I know both of these statements to actually be of a certain amount of substance and not pulled out of thin air. I will cite a few sources in this post and wait for people to respond before I add them to the article. Here is a website with the list of agreed statements in the Eastern Orthodox-Oriental Orthodox Joint Commission: Orthodox Unity. The next is a common declaration between Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III and Roman Pope Paul VI: Coptic and Roman. Finally, here is a selection of various agreed statements of Oriental and Roman from the Syriac Orthodox Church: Syriac Orthodox w/ Roman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deusveritasest ( talk • contribs) 21:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
This article is clearly of a Chalcedonian POV. The first line reads "The Council of Chalcedon was an ecumenical council of the Christian Church". This is a claim of those of the Chalcedonian traditions, such as Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, but it is not universally recognized, it never has been. Both those of the Oriental Orthodox and East Assyrian traditions do not recognize such a claim. I don't know why the wording was changed in the first place. I originally had it reading "The Council of Chalcedon was believed to have been the Fourth Ecumenical Council by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox...". I intend to restore this article to NPOV, but I will wait a few days in case anyone wishes to object. Deusveritasest ( talk) 03:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
I get the distinct impression that the people who ultimately rejected the council, did, indeed attend it, but it got rejected for whatever reasons after they got back home. There is a story in Non-Chalcedonian about minority this majority that. Which seems like weasel words BTW but that is their story and they are sticking to it. Shouldn't the record show here that non-Chalcedonians attended and a summary of the non-chalcedonian article? (Then remove from "see also" where I just put it). Student7 ( talk) 00:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
The present version represents a Roman or ultra-Romanist perspective, possibly taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia, by that claiming the council was convened by a pope. The account generally accepted by secular historians is that it was convened (like each of the first seven oecumenical councils) by the Byzantine emperor. In this case the emperor, Marcian, acted under the influence of his wife, the Augusta Pulcheria, sister of the previous emperor Theodosius II, who had favored the other (monophysite) side. There are very full accounts in Gibbon (whose discussion in the Decline and Fall is particular memorable), Bury, Vasiliev, and others. 173.61.149.232 ( talk) 21:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
The box at the top of the article as of 1/23/12 goes far beyond any consensus that I can see. The article does have substantial room for improvement, but I don't think it is true that "the whole piece needs to be replaced by a new entry" and most of the editors on the talk page don't seem to think so either. I will leave the box in place for the moment pending comments, but if no one can provide a good justification for it then I will remove it. Kevin Nelson ( talk) 23:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

The IP 216.165.1.67 has edited several articles without explanation including this one but the purpose of the edits seems clear: to include Anglicanism within Protestantism. So far as describing religious movements is concerned, the basic guideline in Wikipedia seems to be that their own self-understanding should be respected, hence the description of "Christian" applied to the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses despite the recurring objections of editors who would restrict the adjective to groups which, among other doctrines, hold to Nicene trinitarianism and Chalcedonian christology. In the case of Anglicanism it is almost a commonplace that it is some form of half-way house between Catholicism and Protestantism. For example,
Many more quotations along the same lines could be found but I hope these are sufficient. I have therefore reverted the changes here and will try to do so elsewhere. Jpacobb ( talk) 00:36, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
I restored the mention of these two denominations for the following reasons. (1) Ever since the Oxford Movement which began in in 1833, an increasing number of Anglicans have been unhappy about classing Anglicanism as a protestant denomination, the standard formula today would seem to be "both Catholic and Protestant" and in this particular field where some sort of self-understanding is clearly stated it takes precedence over other view points [The obvious cases here are the claims of Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses to be classed as "Christian" which are accepted on Wiki but which many "mainstream" thinkers would question or deny.] (2) There are a number of different understandings of the word "Protestant". To some people it is virtually synonymous of fundamentalist or evangelical: German-speaking Lutherans prefer "evangelische" which is by no means a synonym of the English "evangelical". Jpacobb ( talk) 00:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
The article states: "The judgements and definitions of divine nature issued by the council marked a significant turning point in the Christological debates that led to the separate establishment of the church in the Western Roman Empire during the 5th century"
What denomination is "the church" that is mentioned there? That should be clarified. - KitchM ( talk) 17:26, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me the line 'A minority of Christians do not agree with the council's teachings' could be improved, particularly as it is in the lead. From my perspective, the language minimizes those who does Christians who do not agree with the council. Maybe a better statement might be "While the majority of Christians follow the council's teachings, those that disagreed would become the Oriental Orthodox churches." Thoughts? Dbsseven ( talk) 17:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Laurel Lodged, I am confused as to the purpose of your recent reverts. For one, the purpose of the lead is to provide a general overview of the subject at hand. It should give the reader the general idea without getting into too much detail. As long as my edits are true (you haven't said that they aren't), you shouldn't revert them simply because they don't cover all the details you want. If my edits have left something out that you feel is important to have in the lead but are still true in fact, either leave it alone or add the few extra words yourself. A novel concept. Right now, the lead contains no details on what the council actually defined aside from linking to another article. That is a big problem. Either go with what I wrote or add a few words or sentences if you think there's something missing.
Also, the dogma of the Son being consubstantial to the Father was developed centuries earlier by Tertullian and codified at Nicaea. I'm not sure why we need to say it here. Display name 99 ( talk) 14:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
The second paragraph ("The Copts...") is unclear, overlong, not neutral, and not clearly related to what comes immediately before and after it. Maybe a comprehensible version of it should be in the "Theological Background" section. 87.122.104.233 ( talk) 11:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the efforts of editor "84.83.56.208" to provide an Oriental Orthodox counterpoint to the prevailing understanding of the Council of Chalcedon. However, given that their edits added six major paragraphs with blatantly non-neutral language, and their minority viewpoint now dominates the lede paragraph and the rest of the article, I don't think the current article reflects Wikipedia policy.
I am reverting the edits, though I hope that the added content can be salvaged with more neutral language and organization. -- PublicolaMinor ( talk) 00:02, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I read the Council of Chalcedon Wikipedia entry, and unsurprisingly noted that it contained the usual text and resources on the subject. I have found it important that in this particular subject, to add the point of view from the non-Chalcedonian Orthodox. It is important to note that The See of Alexandria, being one of the pioneering Churches during that time (pioneer in context of Theology, thoughts, spiritual writings, and framing up discussions in the Early Councils), was not a minority - and including writings from this Church is extremely important to offer a proper assessment of the events that may have taken place. Having sources not from the non-Chalcedonian Churches risks missing out on a major participant and a key party in the Early Church. I am reverting the changes again. If you have any specific inquiries on specific sections, kindly raise these, and I am happy to discuss or provide evidence to the material. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbisada ( talk • contribs) 19:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
I notice that the lead section of this article fails to give a summary of the council itself and instead focuses on details of the content in sections 2, 'Acceptance' and 3, 'Theological background'. I suggest that the lead section be shortened and made more representative of the article as a whole, so that it "serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents" ( MOS:LEAD). I also think the material in the lead section may give an unbalanced summary of the controversies covered in the article, but that is secondary to the main problem, in my opinion. I am also, as a member of the EOC, declaring a conflict of interest here. Maximilian Aigner ( talk) 05:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Why is the miracle of Euphemia not mentioned? /info/en/?search=Euphemia#Miracle_during_the_Council_of_Chalcedon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.77.35 ( talk) 12:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
In the introduction, this is stated: "The principal purpose of the council was to re-assert the teachings of the ecumenical Council of Ephesus against the teachings of Eutyches and Nestorius."
I think this is a serious misreading of the mentioned source ( https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03555a.htm). The ecumenical Council of Ephesus (Ephesus I, 431 AD), was not against Eutychus, but against Nestorius. The principal purpose of Chalcedon is therefore not to reaffirm Ephesus I, but it is against Eutychus and the monophysites. 81.82.254.20 ( talk) 10:09, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Also, the dogma of the Son being consubstantial to the Father was developed centuries earlier by Tertullian and codified at Nicaea. I'm not sure why we need to say it here. Display name 99 ( talk) 14:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
The second paragraph ("The Copts...") is unclear, overlong, not neutral, and not clearly related to what comes immediately before and after it. Maybe a comprehensible version of it should be in the "Theological Background" section. 87.122.104.233 ( talk) 11:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate the efforts of editor "84.83.56.208" to provide an Oriental Orthodox counterpoint to the prevailing understanding of the Council of Chalcedon. However, given that their edits added six major paragraphs with blatantly non-neutral language, and their minority viewpoint now dominates the lede paragraph and the rest of the article, I don't think the current article reflects Wikipedia policy.
I am reverting the edits, though I hope that the added content can be salvaged with more neutral language and organization. -- PublicolaMinor ( talk) 00:02, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I read the Council of Chalcedon Wikipedia entry, and unsurprisingly noted that it contained the usual text and resources on the subject. I have found it important that in this particular subject, to add the point of view from the non-Chalcedonian Orthodox. It is important to note that The See of Alexandria, being one of the pioneering Churches during that time (pioneer in context of Theology, thoughts, spiritual writings, and framing up discussions in the Early Councils), was not a minority - and including writings from this Church is extremely important to offer a proper assessment of the events that may have taken place. Having sources not from the non-Chalcedonian Churches risks missing out on a major participant and a key party in the Early Church. I am reverting the changes again. If you have any specific inquiries on specific sections, kindly raise these, and I am happy to discuss or provide evidence to the material. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbisada ( talk • contribs) 19:47, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
I notice that the lead section of this article fails to give a summary of the council itself and instead focuses on details of the content in sections 2, 'Acceptance' and 3, 'Theological background'. I suggest that the lead section be shortened and made more representative of the article as a whole, so that it "serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents" ( MOS:LEAD). I also think the material in the lead section may give an unbalanced summary of the controversies covered in the article, but that is secondary to the main problem, in my opinion. I am also, as a member of the EOC, declaring a conflict of interest here. Maximilian Aigner ( talk) 05:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
Why is the miracle of Euphemia not mentioned? /info/en/?search=Euphemia#Miracle_during_the_Council_of_Chalcedon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.77.35 ( talk) 12:37, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
In the introduction, this is stated: "The principal purpose of the council was to re-assert the teachings of the ecumenical Council of Ephesus against the teachings of Eutyches and Nestorius."
I think this is a serious misreading of the mentioned source ( https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03555a.htm). The ecumenical Council of Ephesus (Ephesus I, 431 AD), was not against Eutychus, but against Nestorius. The principal purpose of Chalcedon is therefore not to reaffirm Ephesus I, but it is against Eutychus and the monophysites. 81.82.254.20 ( talk) 10:09, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
