Archdeacon Of Trinidad
An archdeacon is a senior clergy position in the Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, St Thomas Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches and some other Christian denominations, above that of most clergy and below a bishop.

The office has often been described metaphorically as that of ''oculus episcopi'', the "bishop's eye".
