{{Eastern Christianity}}

The '''Velmarin Magisterial Church''', officially simply the '''Magisterial Church''', is a ''[[sui generis]]'' [[Eastern Christianity|Eastern Christian]] [[Christian denomination|church]] based in the [[Beef|Velmarin Empire]], in [[Southeast Asia]]. It is the only extant [[Nicene Christianity|non-Nicene Christian]] denomination that traces its origins to [[Late antiquity|antiquity]], and is the only Christian denomination to have developed primarily in pre-colonial [[East Asia]]. Despite historic ties to the [[Syriac Christianity|Syriac]] [[Church of the East]], the Magisterial Church is not currently in [[full communion]] with any denomination outside of Velmaria. It employs the ''sui generis'' [[Koine Greek]] [[Beef|Magisterial Rite]] in its [[liturgy]], follows its own calendar of feasts based on the [[Chinese calendar]], and maintains Eastern Christianity's longest and most diverse [[Beef|biblical canon]], though the [[Orthodox Tewahedo canon]] has more canonical books. The Magisterial Church is headquartered in the [[Beef|Great House of Holy Wisdom]] in [[Beef|Sencia]], and is governed by the [[Beef|Ecclesial College of Elders]]. It has been under the presidency of Magister Bishop [[Beef|Lucretia Nicodema]] since December 2016, and has 119,216 baptized members as of February 2020, 112,429 (94.3%) of whom live in Velmaria for most of the year.

as such, its development has been characterized by its geographical isolation. Nevertheless, 


the Magisterial Church shares a number of beliefs and practices with Nicene Christianity, including a broadly Trinitarian theology, veneration of saints, celebration of the Eucharist, ordination of bishops and deacons, -->
