CWN Editor's Note: Over 30 churches, ecclesial communities, and ecumenical organizations sent delegations to Pope Francis’s funeral. The Vatican newspaper published a list of the members of the delegations in its April 30 edition.
At the top of the list were the member of the delegations of 14 Orthodox churches, seven Oriental Orthodox churches, and the Assyrian Church of the East. The Assyrian Church of the East ceased to be in full communion with the Holy See following the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus (431); the Oriental Orthodox churches, following the Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (451).
