THE SUCCESSION IN DETAIL

A living line.
Name by name.

Names, dates, and source wording are transcribed from the original records. Original spellings and sequence numbers are retained.

Read the source introduction and transcription notes

Cette Succession Apostolique prend ses origins dans le Patriarcat d’Antioche et est la même jusqu’ à IGNACE PIERRE III en 1872.

The source skips printed sequence number 141; sequence numbers are preserved.

First sheet: two parallel numbered blocks, read down the left block (1–50), then down the right block (51–100).

Row 145 prints empty parentheses after Robert WORD; whitespace inside them is typographic.

In narrative entries, the date belongs to the action described in that row; it is not necessarily the named bishop’s own consecration date. The source wording is retained alongside it.

A SHARED INHERITANCE

Authority to serve.
Mysteries for every Christian.

Our successions support the work of restoration and sacramental ministry. They do not make the Christian Mysteries the property of any one church.

These Mysteries are the spiritual inheritance of every Christian, regardless of church or denomination. Participation does not require leaving your existing church.
