== Organisasi dan struktur ==
Dalam [[Konsili Seleukia-Ktesifon]] tahun 410, Gereja di Timur menyatakan bahwa Uskup Seleukia-Ktesifon, ibu kota [[Kekaisaran Sasaniyah|Persia]], adalah pemimpin tertingginya. Di dalam surat keputusan konsili ini, kepala Gereja di Timur disebut "Metropolit Agung", dan tidak lama kemudian disebut "[[Katolikos]] di Timur". Gelar [[batrik]] baru digunakan kemudian hari.<!--
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]].
