Best Answer

The head of the Orthodox Church is Jesus Christ. The spiritual leaders are the four Ancient Patriarchates (ie. Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem) followed by the leaders of the "Autocephalous" (self-governing) churches, such as Moscow, Greece, Serbia, etc. The Orthodox Church has no pope as the sole leader. The highest authority in the Orthodox Church is an Ecumenical Council (or Synod) that consists of the spiritual leaders (or their representatives) from the whole Orthodox world.

What are the roles of women in the christian religion?

It depends upon the denomination. Some denominations (such as Roman Catholicism, Plymouth Bretheren, and some Orthodox and Baptist churches) are very male dominated refusing any sort of leadership roles for women, although in Roman Catholicism, nuns have a heriarchical structure under the Mothers Superior, but even these leaders are subservient to the male priests. In most other denominations, however, especially Methodism and Anglicanism there are no such restrictions in roles due to the person's gender. As an example, women are able to be ministers in the Methodist Church and can be priests and bishops in the Anglican Church, the Church of England having recently voted for women bishops. In fact there are no roles within these churches that cannot be performed by men and not women. This reflects much better the early Christian churches that can be read about in Paul's letters, and which can be studied through archaeological evidence, in which women frequently took a leadership role.


Are there deaconesses in The Orthodox Church today?

There are no known deaconesses in the Orthodox Church today, as the practice of having deaconesses gradually discontinued over the centuries. This does not mean that deaconesses are not allowed, or could not be appointed in future, but there has possibly not been a need or demand for their services any longer. The role of deaconesses in the Church was non-liturgical, meaning they did not administer any of the sacraments of the Church or perform the role of a priest. Their main role was to take care of the charitable work of the Church, to assist during the baptism of women, ministering to the martyrs in prison, and taking care of the widows and orphans. These were very important roles in the early church.

Is there any time that deacons in a church can make decisions without bringing to the congregation?

In a Baptist church, the main duty of leadership falls to the pastor/preacher, who is expected to lead his church according to the Bible. He is free to appoint deacons (or have them elected, etc.) and other leadership roles as he sees fit. Some pastors prefer alot of help; some prefer very little. Any and all authority that the deacons have is determined by the pastor.
