JurisdictionsHistorically, Oriental Orthodoxy was introduced to North America during the 19th century, mainly through emigration of Christians from the Middle East, Caucasus, North Africa and India. Honoring such diverse heritage, Oriental Orthodoxy in North America is traditionally organized in accordance with patrimonial jurisdictions of autocephalous Oriental Orthodox Churches, each of them having its own hierarchy with dioceses and parishes. Armenian Apostolic Church has two jurisdictions in North America: under the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin there are three dioceses, two in the United States (eastern and western), and one in Canada;[2] while under the Holy See of Cilicia there are also two dioceses in the United States (eastern and western), and one in Canada (see: Armenian (Cilician) Diocese of Canada). Coptic Orthodox Church in North America also has several dioceses.[3] Syriac Orthodox Church in North America has its own hierarchy, with two dioceses in the United States (eastern and western),[4] two patriarchal vicariates (one for Canada and one for Central America), and also adding to that the autonomous Malankara Archdiocese of North America. Also, there are dioceses of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church in North America, including Malankara Orthodox Diocese of Northeast America (for eastern regions of the United States and eastern regions of Canada),[5] and Malankara Orthodox Diocese of Southwest America (for western regions of the United States and western regions of Canada).[6] Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Church also have their jurisdictions in North America.{{sfn|FitzGerald|2007|p=278}} See also{{columns-list|colwidth=30em|
