Administration

The Head of the Orthodox Christian Church is
our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ
There is no earthly head of the Orthodox Church. All bishops are equal, sharing the same ministerial grace and forming a brotherhood to which each is accountable. The unity of the Church is manifested in common Faith and communion in the Sacraments and no one but Christ Himself is the real Head of the Church.

Our bishops

  • Kirill, patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church
  • Matthew, bishop of Sourozh, ​Interim Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA
