Questions from a Presbyterian

[adithia.kusno]

Would you like to summarize your perspective on the joint declaration?
Or, as a Byzantine Catholic, do you say "Theotokos"?

Hi mcarmichael,

Church of the East always venerate Mary as the Birth-giver of Christ our God. Because the one she gave birth has a divine nature. I would recommend a well written summary by Mar Bawai Soro on Church of the East Christology.
In Eastern Catholic we venerate her as Theotokos, not that she gave birth to the whole Trinity but only to the divine Logos incarnate. She gave Him her humanity, this is why He is consubstantial with us in His humanity.
