==Organization==
The Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese is treated as one single archdiocese spanning two continents, with the Archbishop in Australia and a Deanery for New Zealand. There are xx [[parish]]es and missions across Australia, xx parishes in the Deanery of New Zealand, and approximately xx,xxx [[faithful]] in the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of Australia and New Zealand. The Archdiocese also has one female monastery of [[Monastery of St Anna (Preston, Australia)|St Anna]] in Victoria, and runs the [[Melbourne Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies]], with the collaboration of the ROCOR Dean of Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia and the priest of the Moscow Patriarchate parish in Melbourne. The Institute does not intend to present itself as another theological college for priests, but rather where Orthodox in Melbourne can gain some education in their faith.
