Autocephalous Orthodox Jurisdictions

The Independent Sacramental Movement, to which Autocephalous Orthodoxy belongs, is a fluid movement with many microjurisdictions, most often labeled as jurisdictions, which range in size from a single member to many members. The following list attempts to separate jurisdictions into those that are presently active and those that are inactive and/or defunct.

Rather than delete any of the entries below, we ask that you simply move inactive and defunct jurisdictions to the appropriate list below, so that we can assemble a comprehensive list of all Autocephalous Orthodox jurisdictions, past and present.
