Zusammenfassung:Orthodox ecclesiology doctrinally and historically requires that all authority in the church be expressed by the bishop. The unity of authority, based upon the laying on of hands, is the lived expression of the oneness and catholicity of the church.

It points toward the already-realized conciliarity of supra-parish structures as the paradigm for a reformation of parish authority structures
