Definition
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the status or quality of a church that is self-governing and independent from other ecclesiastical authorities.
Etymology
From Greek auto- (self) + kephale (head). Literally means 'self-headed' and refers to churches that govern themselves without answering to a central authority.
Kelly Says
This term shows how religious organizations use Greek to create sophisticated vocabulary—autocephalous churches are like independent nations in the religious world!
