Ecumenical Patriarch
Head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the patriarch of Istanbul (Constantinople). The bishop of Constantinople was recognized as having equal rights with the bishop of Rome in 451, and first termed ‘patriarch’ in the 6th century. The office survives today but with only limited authority, mainly confined to the Greek and Turkish Orthodox churches.
