Editing Patriarchate (section)

== Oriental Orthodoxy ==

Several patriarchates exist within the [[Oriental Orthodox Churches]]. These include four ancient sees: the [[Coptic Orthodox Church]] (Alexandria), the [[Syriac Orthodox Church]] (Antioch), and two Armenian patriarchates—one based in [[Jerusalem]] ([[Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem]]) and the other in [[Constantinople]] ([[Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople]]).

In addition to these, two modern patriarchates have been established: the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church]] and the [[Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ethiopian-Orthodox-Tewahedo-Church |title=Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |publisher=Encyclopædia Britannica |access-date=2022-11-05}}</ref>

There are also several autocephalous churches that function similarly to patriarchates, even though they do not use the patriarchal title. These include the [[Indian Orthodox Church]], the [[Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin]] (Armenian Catholicosate of Etchmiadzin), and the [[Holy See of Cilicia]] (Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia).<ref>{{cite news |last1=Stammer |first1=Larry |title=Armenians Called by 1 Faith, But 2 Churches |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-oct-21-me-39932-story.html |access-date=2022-11-05 |publisher=Los Angeles Times |date=21 October 2000}}</ref>
