The Romanian Orthodox Church had 20.9 million members in 1992. The Church is autocephalous, meaning it is not subject to an external patriarch or archbishop, but has a relationship with the Eastern Orthodox Church. The highest hierarchical authority is the Holy Synod. Since 1925, the Church has been headed by a patriarch. There are six Orthodox Metropolitanates and ten archbishoprics in Romania. As of 2004, there are fifteen theological universities and more than 14,500 churches.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Romanian Orthodox Church," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_Orthodox_Church, accessed 22 August 2018.</ref> | The Romanian Orthodox Church had 20.9 million members in 1992.
