→Jurisdictions with parishes in the "diaspora"
One of the major challenges of Orthodoxy in the diaspora is the existence of multiple overlapping jurisdictions, a phenomenon which is against the [[canon law|canonical tradition]] of the Orthodox Church, which requires that any given piece of [[canonical territory]] should only have a single [[bishop]].
Overlapping jurisdictions currently exist in North and South America, Western Europe, East Asia, Australia, Oceania, and many Pacific islands, as well as Estonia.
