The Archbishop of Helsinki and all Finland is the primate of the Orthodox Church of Finland. Following the establishment of the church as an autonomous archdiocese under the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 1923, its primate held the title Archbishop of Karelia and all Finland until 2018.
The Archbishop of Finland is elected by the Church Council of the Finnish Orthodox Church. The council consists of 34 to 35 voting members: all working bishops (currently 3), 11 clergy representatives, 3 cantors, and 18 elected lay representatives.
