===Current bishops===
Note: As of May 2009, the titles of the bishops are in dispute. According to Metropolitan Philip in a March 3, 2009 Archpastoral Directive, the Archdiocese's diocesan bishops are now auxiliary bishops.[http://www.antiochian.org/node/18883] However, on May 13, 2009, the two Chancellors of the Archdiocese, Charles Ajalat and Robert Koory, issued a legal opinion which disputed this position.[http://www.ocanews.org/news/ChancellorsLetter5.17.09.html] Others have argued that the reduction of diocesan bishops to auxiliary status is not permitted by Orthodox canon law.[http://www.ocanews.org/Anomaly3.19.09.html][http://www.antiochianinfo.org/documents/OrthodoxEcclesiologyAndCrisis.pdf]
