Assembly Of Canonical Orthodox Bishops Of Scandinavia

From Handwiki

The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of Scandinavia consists of all the active Eastern Orthodox bishops serving Sweden, Norway , Denmark , and Iceland, and representing multiple jurisdictions. It is not, properly speaking, a synod. The Episcopal Assembly of Scandinavia is one of several such bodies around the world which operate in the so-called "diaspora."

Overview

The assembly began when delegates from the 14 autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches met at the Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Chambésy, Switzerland , on June 6–12, 2009.[1]

Jurisdictions

The current jurisdictions in the region include the following, ordered according to diptych:

  • Ecumenical Patriarchate - Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Sweden and all Scandinavia and Exarchate of the Northern Countries
  • Moscow Patriarchate - Archdiocese of Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe (Deanery of Scandinavia)[2]
  • Serbian Patriarchate - Eparchy of Britain and Scandinavia
