The Patriarchate of Jerusalem or Jerusalem Orthodox Church is autocephalous one legal canon of the Orthodox Church in Israel , the Palestine and Jordan. The head of the Church carries the title of Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine, Syria, Saudi Perea, Jordan, Cana of Galilee and Holy Zion, with residence in Jerusalem at Early Galileo (incumbent: His Beatitude Theophilus III Name Like other Orthodox Churches of the Middle East , it is locally called "Rumi", that is to say "Roman" or Byzantine, the Arabic word often means "Greek Orthodox". Until 134, the start of the second Jewish revolt against Rome, the Christians of Palestine (Israel), are predominantly Jewish and still represent the central focus of the early church. Their qehila has a college-type structure: the list of first 15 bishops of Jerusalem given by Eusebius of Caesarea seems to refer to " bishops "who sat together in Jerusalem , which does not preclude the presence in the country of Judeo-Christian communities. Contra Haereses of Epiphanius of Salamis alluded to several of these communities, we can also see at work, in the person of Jacques particularly in certain segments of the old pseudo-Clementine writings . If they are described as "heretics" from the fourth century, the influence of some of them (the "nazorisme" for example ) on the formation of Christianity in Palestine (and hence the rest of the empire) should not be underestimated. The liturgical sources in particular help to retrace the important role played by the Judeo-Christianity , in terms of formulas as liturgical rites in the history of Christianity from Empire . At the Council of Chalcedon in 451 , it was decided the detachment of the Patriarchate of Antioch of the three provinces of Palestine to be an autonomous patriarchate. Until the time of the Crusades (XII century), the Church of Jerusalem has enjoyed a liturgical rite own. This rite is itself influenced the rite of the capital of the Byzantine Empire , Constantinople, often also through its transposition monastic Mar Saba. It is therefore a primary source of Byzantine liturgy , the tradition of Antioch and of Constantinople itself. Patriarch Irenaeus I. was filed in May 2005 following a scandal related to real estate transactions in Jerusalem. He is suspected of selling (or have left for sale) of land to Jewish investors in Israel. He was replaced by Theophilus III on 22 August 2005. This was recognized very soon after his election by the Palestinian Authority and Jordan. Israel has not recognized so far and continues to consider his predecessor as the patriarch. Canonical territory The canonical territory of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem includes Israel , the Palestine and Jordan. Jurisdictions NB: This list is compiled tentative and indicative, incorporates material from different sources that do not overlap completely) Representation outside the canonical Patriarchy has representatives outside its primary territory bearing the title "Exarch of the Holy Sepulchre. " It has a dozen parishes in the United States , including California. The Orthodox Parish in Doha Qatar is also dependent on the Patriarchate of Jerusalem (Patriarch Theophilos III was representative of patriarchy in Qatar) . Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre, whose emblem is the Phi Tau-cons here. The Orthodox Church of Jerusalem is now the largest landowner in Israel with many properties and vast land acquired over the centuries. In Jerusalem, the Knesset , the residence of the Head of State, the Great Synagogue and are built on land belonging to the Patriarchate. The management of this heritage is a huge challenge not only economic but also political. The Church is a member of the World Council of Churches and the Council of Churches of the Middle East.
