As described in the Statute of Orthodox Church in America, “The All-American Council is the highest legislative and administrative authority within the Church. The Council brings together the various elements of the Church to bear witness to her identity, unity, and mission.”
All-American Councils are extremely important in the life of our autocephalous Church not only because of their authority, but also because they effectively express the conciliar nature of the Orthodox Church providing an opportunity for the entire Church to gather together in communion, prayer, and faith.
