College of Bishops

The Archbishops

The Reformed Old Catholic Church has a presence in Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. These five continents are divided into three jurisdictions: The Primatial See; The Metropolitan Archdiocese of the North and the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Oceania.

Holy Synod, which meets every six-years is composed of the College of Bishops (the Governing Body of the Church); the Council of Clergy and Body of the Faithful.

Within the College is elected the Primate or primus inter pares. This Office enables the holder to call and preside over Holy Synod and is assisted by two Archbishops.
