Archdeacon
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.

An archdeacon is often responsible for administration within an archdeaconry, which is the principal subdivision of the diocese.

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