SUGGESTION: Oriental Orthodox

In light of the addition of Eastern Rites packages and in light of the expansion into classified theological sections, isn't it time for Logos to grow in its knowledge of church history? Please add the third major branch of Christianity, Oriental Orthodox Christianity, to your list:

Oriental Orthodox (Syrian) does NOT historically belong in the same box as Eastern (Byzantine) Orthodox and to imply that they are more closely related to each other than to Western (Latin) Catholic is a disservice. This genuinely matters as political conditions move more and more Oriental Orthodox into the US and other Western countries.
[quote]Oriental Orthodoxy in North America represents adherents, religious communities, institutions and organizations of Oriental Orthodox Christianity in North America, including the United States, Canada, Mexico and other North American states. Oriental Orthodox Christians in North America are traditionally organized in accordance with their patrimonial ecclesiastical jurisdictions, with each community having its own structure of dioceses and parishes. Most Oriental Orthodox Christians in North America belong to Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Indian, Syriac and some other communities, representing religious majority or minority within a particular community. Oriental Orthodox jurisdictions are organized within the Standing Conference of Oriental Orthodox Churches.
P.S. You already have some Oriental Orthodox resources although not labeled as such.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
