Archbishop

The position of Archbishop is granted authority over the Central Church of Xaethos. The authority of the Archbishop extends over any church that is Communion with the Central Church, while also enjoying Primus inter pares with churches that are not in full communion, but still follow Canon Law. In the case of a schismatic church or a church that elects to fall outside canon law, the title Archbishop is granted to the leader of that church. Currently, there are 3 churches that have an Archbishop: The Alksearian Church, the Balistrian Church, and the Sect.
