Current bishops

Ruling bishops

Each ruling bishop is put in charge of a subdivision of OCU called an eparchy. Ruling bishops can be awarded higher ranks of archbishop and metropolitan for their services to the Church. Every ruling bishop can be chosen to fill a seat in the Holy Synod of the OCU. Ruling bishops can partake in consecration of new bishops at their own will.

The Head of OCU is also among the ruling bishops, as the de jure head of the eparchy of Kyiv.

Vicar bishops

Vicar bishops serve as helpers to the ruling bishop of their eparchy. Vicar bishops cannot be awarded a higher rank, except if they were made an archbishop before becoming a vicar in the OCU, usually by being a ruling bishop of the OCU or another Orthodox Church (metropolitans cannot become vicars). Vicar bishops cannot be chosen to fill a seat in the Holy Synod of the OCU (with one exception). All vicar bishops can partake in the consecration of new bishops at will.

The archbishop of Vyshhorod is a special case among the vicar bishops. As the de facto ruling bishop of the eparchy of Kyiv, he is officially equated in rights but not in name to a ruling bishop, and can be chosen to be a part of the Holy Synod. He is also awarded the title of archbishop immediately upon taking office.

Titular bishops

Titular bishops have the duties normally assigned to a priest in the eparchy, but unlike priests they answer directly to the Head of the Church and the Holy Synod, bypassing the ruling bishop. Titular bishops cannot be chosen to fill a seat in the Holy Synod, but can partake in consecration of new bishops at their own will.

Bishops of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church
