The head of the Orthodox Church is Jesus Christ, and it does not have a global leader, like a pope. The highest authority in the Orthodox Church is an Ecumenical Council, or Synod of worldwide bishops. The Ecumenical Patriarch is considered to be ‘first among equals’ in terms of hierarchy, but he cannot interfere in the decisions of other jurisdictions. The current spiritual leader of the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians is His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, in Constantinople (now known as Istanbul).
