-	Epopides are ecclesiarchic overseers of patrides. An epopis of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Ministorum\|Ministorum]] is the spiritual leader of a [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|horos]], a topos most typically encompassing either a large settlement and its outlying villages or a broader area with no particularly sizable settlements, and is responsible to the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Archistator\|archistator]] set over the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Diokesis\|diokesis]] in which his [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|horos]] resides.

		+
		+
		+	===Semantor===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Quinary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': No
		+	*'''Ordained''': No
		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Your Eminence"
		+	*'''Plural''': Semantoroi
		+
		+	A semantor is the head of an order of [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Summachos\|summachoi]], and holds the greatest spiritual authority possible for one who is not an ordained priest.
		+
		+	As with summachoi, a semantor will generally be known by a title specific to the order of summachoi in question.
		+
		+
		+	===Patris===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Senary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': Yes
		+	*'''Ministorial Topos''': [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Domos\|Domos]]
		+	*'''Ordained''': Yes
		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Father"
		+	*'''Plural''': Patrides
		+
		+	Patrides are ordained priests of Yehovah. A patris of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Ministorum\|Ministorum]] is responsible for a [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Domos\|domos]], an ecclesiarchic district that usually encompasses a village or a portion of a larger settlement, and is responsible to the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Epopis \|epopis]] of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|horos]] in which his [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Domos\|domos]] lies. As the ecclesiarchs who directly guide the people of their [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Sullogoi\|sullogoi]], the patrides of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Ministorum\|Ministorum]] are the backbone of the Pantarchic Church. Patrides of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Administorum\|Administorum]], like their ministering counterparts, are responsible to an [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Epopis\|epopis]] as appropriate to the particular organizational structure under which they work.
		+
		+
		+	===Summachos===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Septenary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': No
		+	*'''Ordained''': No
		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Plural''': Summachoi
		+
		+	Summachoi are devoted servants of Yehovah who, though not a part of the priesthood, stand with it -- often enough in a martial capacity, though summachoi fill a variety of roles according to the needs of the Church and their personal vocation. The distinction which separates a summachos from others who fight for and serve the Pantarchic Church is that they have passed through purification and investment with the privilege of calling directly upon Lord Yehovah for aid.
		+
		+	Unlike the case with ecclesiarchic [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Axia\|axia]], knowing that someone holds the axion of summachos generally does not tell the full story. There are many orders from which summachoi are initiated, and each ordinarily has its own name for someone within it who attains this axion.
		+
		+
		+	===Rhetor===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Septenary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': Yes
		+	*'''Ordained''': No
		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Plural''': Rhetoroi
		+
		+	A rhetor is an acolyte to the axion of [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Patris\|patris]], and serves as an assistant to a series of patrides in the course of training for that vocation.
		+
		+
		+	===Mestor===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Nonary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': No
		+	*'''Ordained''': No
		+	*'''Invested''': No
		+	*'''Plural''': Mestoroi
		+
		+	Mestores are acolytes of the Pantarchic Church. A mestor may be an aspirant to the axion of [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Rhetor\|rhetor]] or [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Summachos\|summachos]], or may simply be called to continuing service as a mestor. The duties and privileges of mestores vary widely according to this aspiration and the role in which they serve, but generally they faithfully assist the higher [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Axia\|axia]] in whatever capacity may be required. Ordinary maintenance of church grounds is normally performed by mestores, and certain liturgical roles are primarily filled by them.
		+
		+	As with [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Summachos\|summachoi]] themselves, mestores who are aspirants to the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Summachos\|summachos]] axion are likely to be known by another name specific to the order they serve.
		+
		+
		+	===Probaton===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Denary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': No
		+	*'''Ordained''': No
		+	*'''Invested''': No
		+	*'''Plural''': Probata
		+
		+	Probata are the ordinary faithful of Yehovah. Though they have not been called to more specific service within the Pantarchic Church, they are nonetheless its very flesh and substance, without whose piety and sacrifice the Church would wither.

		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Your Holiness"
		+	*'''Plural''': Hegemoi
		+
		+	The axion of hegemon is the highest office of the Pantarchic Church; the servant of Yehovah called to it is the head of the Church, and speaks for Yehovah in all things.
		+
		+	As the highest mortal authority within the Church, the hegemon is considered to be a part of both the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Ministorum\|Ministorum]] and the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Administorum\|Administorum]]. His presence in the Ministorum is not empty, as he personally conducts the High Eisphora each year.
		+
		+

		+	*'''Precedence''': Secondary

		+	*'''Ordained''': Yes
		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Your Wisdom"
		+	*'''Plural''': Mnemoi
		+
		+	The mnemoi are the hegemon's circle of advisors, the wisest and holiest of the Church. When the Church is reft of its hegemon, it is the College of Mnemoi who choose the new hegemon, most commonly (but not always) from within their ranks. Many of the higher concerns of the Church are normally handled by the mnemoi, so that the hegemon is able to focus on only the most crucial of matters.
		+
		+	As mnemoi do not have direct ministorial responsibilities, the College of Mnemoi lies entirely within the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Administorum\|Administorum]].
		+
		+
		+	===Archistator===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Tertiary

		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Your Reverence"
		+	*'''Plural''': Archistatoroi
		+
		+	The archistatores are high officials of the Pantarchic Church, each bearing primary responsibility for an entire [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Diokesis\|diokesis]]. They are responsible to the College of Mnemoi, and thereby to the Hegemon.
		+
		+
		+	===Epopis===
		+	*'''Precedence''': Quaternary
		+	*'''Ecclesiarchic''': Yes
		+	*'''Ministorial Topos''': [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|Horos]]

		+	*'''Invested''': Yes
		+	*'''Proper Form of Address''': "Your Grace"
		+	*'''Plural''': Epopides
		+
		+	Epopides are ecclesiarchic overseers of patrides. An epopis of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Ministorum\|Ministorum]] is the spiritual leader of a [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|horos]], a topos most typically encompassing either a large settlement and its outlying villages or a broader area with no particularly sizable settlements, and is responsible to the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Archistator\|archistator]] set over the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Diokesis\|diokesis]] in which his [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Horos\|horos]] resides. Epopides of the [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Administorum\|Administorum]] similarly oversee patrides and are responsible to an [[Pantarchic Church Structure#Archistator\|archistator]], with the particulars varying according to the organizational situation.
