The Eastern Orthodox Church, also called the Orthodox Church, is the second-largest Christian church, with approximately 220 million baptized members. It operates as a communion of autocephalous churches, each governed by its bishops via local synods.

The Eastern Orthodox Church officially calls itself the Orthodox Catholic Church.
