Their are three autocephalous Orthodox Churches which are predominately ethnic Greek. There is the autocephalous Church of Greece whose primate is currently Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens and all of Greece. Corinth is a metropolis of the Church of Greece currently its bishop is Metropolitan Dionysios (no relation to the one who wrote an epistle to Rome 1850 years earlier).

Then their is the Autocephalius Church of Cyprus currently headed by Chrysostomos II Archbishop of Nova Justiniana and all of Cyprus. Then you have the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople curently headed by Patriarch Bartholomew.

Never heard of Corinth being under Antioch. Corinth was an important See from the 5th century to the 10th as it had the largest Christian community in the Peloponese until it was eclipsed by Patras. It seemed Corinth was also in charge of many churches of the Ionian Islands for awhile.

Well, you sound the best informed so far, and from what you are saying, I shouldn't have been listening to the EO who told me that Corinth was under Antioch. C'est La Vie. My fault for being so trusting.

So, in the First Century, who governed the Church of Corinth? I'm not looking for a name, there were probably many. I'm looking for the location. The Bishop of _________________.

Read the epistle to the Corinthians. There is a reason why the name of Paul, Cephas and Apollo is mentioned over and over ( 1 Corinthians 3:4-22 )
All three labored there at times simultaneously; ( 1 Corinthians 1:12 )
In fact the epistle to Corinth also tells us that Barnabas spent an extensive amount of time in Corinth along with Peter and Paul ( 1 Corinthians 9:1-6 )

Now officially St Apollo is considered the first bishop of Corinth. The one spoken of in the epistle who was also instrumental in preaching to those in Ephesus originally a native from Alexandria.

I'm a little confused.

I was given to understand that that Corinth was under the Bishop of Antioch, yet there is a record of Corinth having a Bishop named Dionysius. Can someone give me the straight story?

Hi! The Bishop of Corinth is Greek and his name is Dionysius Mantalos. He was born in Athens in Greece on 1952. Corinth is city of Greece and is under the Orthodox Church of Greece not under the Patriarchate of Antioch.

I wouldn't feel too bad or anything. Sts Peter and Paul were also in Antioch, where St Peter was the first bishop. since they were there prior to going to Rome, it's not unreasonable to think Antioch had influence over early Corinth.

and the head of Corinth was, and is, the bishop of Corinth. all bishops are equal successors of the Apostles in terms of authority.
