TheAssembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of France (French:Assemblée des évêques orthodoxes de France) consists of all the activeOrthodox bishops servingFrance andMonaco, and representing multiple jurisdictions. It is not, properly speaking, asynod. It is one of several such bodies around the world which operate in the so-called "diaspora."
The assembly began when delegates from the 14autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches met at the Center of the Ecumenical Patriarchate inChambésy,Switzerland, on June 6–12, 2009.[1] At that time, the conference decided to sanction the establishment of episcopal assemblies in 12 regions of the so-called Eastern Orthodoxdiaspora which are beyond the boundaries of the autocephalous churches. Such assemblies have the authority to propose future administrative structures for the Church in their respective regions.
The current jurisdictions in the region include the following, ordered according todiptych:
