The Church of the East had, like other churches, an [[ordination|ordained]] clergy in the three traditional orders of [[bishop]], [[priest]] (or [[presbyter]]), and [[deacon]]. Also like other churches, it had an [[episcopal polity]]: organisation by [[diocese]]s, each headed by a bishop and made up of several individual [[parish]] communities overseen by priests. Dioceses were organised into [[Ecclesiastical province|provinces]] under the authority of a [[metropolitan bishop]]. The office of metropolitan bishop was an important one, coming with additional duties and powers; canonically, only metropolitans could [[consecration|consecrate]] a patriarch.{{sfn|Wilmshurst|2000|p=21-22}} The Patriarch also has the charge of the [[Patriarchate|Province of the Patriarch]].
