Abstract
The key characteristic of the Orthodox Church, expressed in the Nicene Creed, is that the Church is one, holy, conciliar and apostolic. Although it consists of many local churches, which have their own national characteristics and independent governance, the Orthodox Church is nevertheless one in spirit, faith and equality of power. This goal of this paper is to examine conciliarity as the key principle on the basis of which the Orthodox Church governs itself since its inception, which is based on the Holy Scriptures, the Holy Tradition, the teaching of the holy Apostles, the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils and the rules of the church fathers. Particularly, this paper focuses on the Orthodox Church’s view on the question of power, primacy and authority from the perspective of the principle of conciliarity
