Where is the headquarters for the eastern orthodox of Christianity?

Answer 1

It does not have one central seat, because each jurisdiction has its own spiritual head, but Constantinople is the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarch, who is considered to be the 'First among equals' in the Orthodox Church.

Answer 2

The head of the Orthodox Church is Jesus Christ, and it does not have headquarters or a global leader, like a pope. The highest authority in the Orthodox Church is an Ecumenical Council, or Synod of worldwide bishops. The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is considered to be 'first among equals' in terms of being the spiritual head, but he cannot interfere in the decisions of other jurisdictions. The current spiritual leader of the world's 350 million Orthodox Christians is His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who is based in Constantinople (known today as Istanbul).
