Best Answer

An Exarchate in any Orthodox Church is the area of jurisdiction of an Exarch. An Exarch is a cleric who has been appointed by his Patriarch to represent the Patriarch in Another Country or area. For example, the Russian Patriarch may appoint an Exarch in Jerusalem, and then Jerusalem becomes part of the Exarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate. The Exarch then acts as the Patriarch's representative in that area (called the Exarchate).
