Does it simply mean one that stands in a line of apostolic succession? Or does it involve contemporary apostles? |

This includes the Catholic(Roman and Eastern), Eastern Orthodox (Greek, Russian, OCA, Antiochian et c) , Oriental Orthodox (Coptic, Ethiopian, Indian, Assyrian et c).
I've heard that the Anglican churches, Old Catholic and the Lutheran churches are included, but I've also heard that they aren't.

I mean the direct establishment isn't there.
Forgive me...
