The Administration of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia

The Administration of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia is manifested in the Council [Sobor] of Bishops through the First Hierarch with the Synod of Bishops and the Diocesan bishops. The Council of Bishops, convened approximately every two years, is the supreme authority of the ecclesiastical legislative, administrative, judicial and executive organ for the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. The Synod of Bishops is the executive organ of the Council. The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia is divided into dioceses. All dioceses are under the authority of their diocesan bishops. In each diocese there is a diocesan council, and also a diocesan ecclesiastical court. According the the Regulations of the The Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, diocesan council meetings with the participation of the clergy, layment and representatives of monasteries, church brotherhoods, schools and charitable organizations must be convened no less than once every three years
