The Orthodox Church is led by The Patriarch.However, being there are 12 branches of the Orthodox Church, the 12 branches have their own Patriarch in which is a spiritual father for the congregation and the jurisdiction of said Patriarchate. All 12 branches though, communicate with The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, with His All Holiness being the "supreme" Ecumenical Patriarch. Currently, the Ecumenical Patriarch is His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I ,Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch
