== Church of Antioch in India ==
The Orthodox Church in India is in a difficult stage due to conflict between the factions of the ''Patriarch of Antioch'' and the ''Catholicos of East''. As neither is ready for a compromise there are many civil disputes currently in the courts. At present there are two factions of the Orthodox Church in India. They are: * [[Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church]] This Church recognizes the Patriarch of Antioch as the highest ranking hierarch of the Church of Antioch, but without any administrative authority in India. The legally (by Malankara Association as per the decision of the Supreme Court of India) elected Catholicos of the East and Malankara Metropolitan is the primate of this Church, which claims autocephaly under Antioch.
