The Eastern Orthodox Church is organized as a communion of autocephalous (self-governing) churches, each led by its own bishop or patriarch, with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople holding a position of honor among them. These churches are united in faith and sacraments but maintain distinct administrative structures and cultural traditions. Decisions on theological and administrative matters are often made through synods or councils, where representatives from various jurisdictions convene. This decentralized structure emphasizes both local governance and a shared commitment to Orthodox doctrine.
