Description

A world map of the canonical territories of the autocephalous and autonomous Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions. Where a certain territory is disputed (either between two different churches or one church claims it as its territory while others consider it part of the diaspora), the territory is in the two colours and is indicated in the "Territorial disputes" section of the legend. Compared to the previous version , this map shows the Macedonian Orthodox Church as autocephalous, since it gained that status in 2022. The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople also claims all territories not belonging to any other autocephalous or autonomous jurisdictions - in other words, the grey ("Unknown") areas on this map. However, other jurisdictions dispute this claim. Thus, those territories are left simply grey.
