The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of Switzerland and Lichtenstein consists of all the active Eastern Orthodox bishops in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and representing multiple jurisdictions. It is not, properly speaking, a synod. The Episcopal Assembly of Switzerland and Lichtenstein is one of several such bodies around the world which operate in the so-called "diaspora."

Overview[edit]

The assembly began when delegates from the 14 autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches met at the Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Chambésy, Switzerland, on June 6–12, 2009.[1]
