Is there a list of bishops somewhere?

Just wondering. Even if it's a wiki or something. How many Bishops are there?

bishops of what and where?

The entire Eastern Orthodox church.

The entire Eastern Orthodox church.

Each patriarchate has its own line of bishops...Jerusalem, Constantinople, etc

If you're looking to verify a bishop outside the US ...

I'm no expert at this but I can usually find a site online for various locations. Of course, you have to know if the site is canonical.

Often they give the entire "pedigree" ... they may list bishops, and then who their Metropolitan is, all the way up to their Patriarchate. If they do this, you can know easily if the Patriarchate is canonical, then everyone under them will be.

As I mentioned in your other thread, I'm not an expert at this.

You can always ask the person if they belong to a canonical jurisdiction. Our parish actually lists the entire structure - Presbyter, Bishop, Metroplitan, Patriarch, so it's easy to verify. But if they are not canonical and happen to have hard feelings, yes you might get a sharp answer.

Better a sharp answer than to be subject to confusion.
