Information About

Greek Orthodox





Greek Orthodox churches in the Americas and Australia are subject to the Constantinopolitan hierarchy. These should not be confused with the Slavic-rite Orthodox Church In America , which is partly recognised as an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox church, having been granted autocephaly in 1970 by the Patriarch Of Moscow . This status is not recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch nor by any other autocephalous Church.

Although the Orthodox Church Of Constantinople , headed by the Patriarch of Constantinople, has resided for many centuries in Istanbul , the local orthodox population has decreased dramatically in the 20th Century .
