The Eastern Orthodox Deputy is known as an Exarch, which is a six-letter word. An Exarch is a high-ranking official in the Eastern Orthodox Church, typically appointed by the Patriarch or Synod of a local Church to serve as a representative of the Church in a specific region. The Exarch is responsible for overseeing the spiritual and administrative affairs of the Church in their region, and is usually given authority to make decisions on behalf of the Church.
