The Autocephaly – an Ecclesiastical Reality
The Autocephaly – an Ecclesiastical Reality

Summary/Abstract: In this study, the author approaches the concept of autocephaly both from a historical point of view and as an ecclesiastical reality. The autocephaly is an ongoing issue in the ecclesiastical life, having always demanded a canonical approach as well. The autocephaly is a trait of the universal Orthodoxy that relies on the ecclesiastical teaching as it has been passed on to us. It can only be achieved within the fundamental canonical principles that provide cohesion and coherence to the ecclesiastical organization of the Church.
