File:Canonical territories of autocephalous and autonomous Orthodox jurisdictions.png, with the help of
File:Eparchies of the Georgian Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church.svg.
This is a world map of the canonical territories of the autocephalous and autonomous Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions. Where a certain territory is disputed (either between two different churches or one church claims it as its territory while others consider it part of the diaspora), the territory is in the two colours and is indicated in the "Territorial disputes" section of the legend.
The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople also claims all territories not belonging to any other autocephalous or autonomous jurisdictions - in other words, the grey ("Unknown") areas on this map. However, other jurisdictions dispute this claim. Thus, those territories are left simply grey.
The Church of Sinai in the South of the Sinai peninsula is limited to one monastery and several dependencies in the South of the Sinai and one dependency in Cairo.
In order to keep this map understandable, only the main autonomous churches are indicated. In cases where the map would have become too unclear (i.e. overlaping jurisdictions) the autonomous churches have been left out.
Compared to
the previous version of the map: the territory of the Orthodox Church of Georgia has been slightly reduced in Armenia to harmonize with
File:Eparchies of the Georgian Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church.svg, the autocephalous
w:Orthodox Church of Ukraine has been added, the
w:Church of Sinai has been added, the
w:Orthodox Church in Japan has been marked as disputed, the
w:Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric and the
w:Latvian Orthodox Church have been marked as autonomous, the territorial dispute over the Arabian Peninsula between the Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Antioch has been added, the territory of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem has been expanded over the whole Sinai Peninsula, the names of the autonomous churches has been changed to their actual names (i.e. "Ukrainian Othodox Church" is used instead of "Church of Ukraine").
