See of Babylon (Manichaeism)
Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck". The See of Babylon was a Manichaean sect centered around Babylon. Although Manichaeism was a fairly unified religious phenomenon, in the sixth century there was a schism between the Manichaean church in Babylonia and the Sogdian Manichaeans.[1] The Denwars were a school of Manichaeism prevalent in Sogdiana founded by Shad Ohrmazd[2] The rift between the eastern and western Manichaeans was not caused by any doctrinal matters. [2] The capital of the denwar sect by the 8th century was centered in Kocho, on the northern Silk road[3]. While the Babylonian Manichaeans were centered on Babylon[1]. The schism between the eastern and western churches was worked out and ended by the eighth century[3] Manichaeism, following its introduction into Sogdiana, would be spread in part by Sogdians eastward into the Tarim basin and China, which gradually became the centers of it.[4] Manichaeism would last at least for another six hundred years, fading away after the fourteenth century.[5]
