== Eastern Orthodoxy == '''[[w:Eastern Orthodox Church]]''', officially the '''Orthodox Catholic Church''', is the second-largest Christian church, with approximately '''220 million''' baptised members, It operates as a [[w:Koinonia|communion]] of [[w:Autocephaly|autocephalous]] churches, each governed by its bishops in local [[w:Holy Synod|synod]]s. Roughly half of Eastern Orthodox Christians live in Russia. The church has no central doctrinal or governmental authority analogous to the [[w:bishop of Rome]], but the [[w:Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] is recognised by all as [[w:primus inter pares]] ("first among equals") of the bishops.
