Holy Episcopal Synod

The Holy Episcopal Synod, with the Catholicos as its President, is the apex body consisting of all bishops of the Malankara Orthodox Church. The authority of the Holy Synod is final and binding in matters of doctrine and faith-practices of the Church and its discipline and determining the order of Apostolic Succession to the Throne of St. Thomas. With regard to temporal matters, the Church is guided by the resolutions of the Malankara Syrian Christian Association and the Church Constitution (1934).

The metropolitans administer the dioceses assigned to them by the Holy Synod in consultation with their respective Diocesan Council and the Diocesan Assembly.
