The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of Scandinavia consists of all the active Eastern Orthodox bishops serving Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, and representing multiple jurisdictions. It is not, properly speaking, a synod. The Episcopal Assembly of Scandinavia is one of several such bodies around the world which operate in the so-called "diaspora."
