The Aldegarian Apostolic Church (Church Cildanian: ܥܕܬܐ ܫܠܝܚܝܬܐ ܐܠܕܓܐܪܝܬܐ, Edta Šlīḥāitā Aldegāriṯā; Classical Aldegarian: , Kelisā-ye Rasuli-ye Aldegār) is a Hosian church and autocephalous component of the Apostolic Church of the East.
Although it has members throughout the world, it is concentrated in Aldegar where Hosianism first arrived in the tenth century supported by Badaran and Cildanian missionaries and refugees. Although it found favour with the Rostamid dynasty, the AAC has experienced persecution and repression over the past three thousand years. Nevertheless it remains a large religious minority in the country.
