Page "Ecumenical council" Paragraph 59
from
Wikipedia
It is their position that since the Seventh Ecumenical Council, there has been no synod or council of the same scope.
Local meetings of hierarchs have been called " pan-Orthodox ", but these have invariably been simply meetings of local hierarchs of whatever Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions are party to a specific local matter.
Unfortunately, the use of the term " pan-Orthodox " is confusing to those not within Eastern Orthodoxy, and it leads to mistaken impressions that these are ersatz ecumenical councils rather than purely local councils to which nearby Orthodox hierarchs, regardless of jurisdiction, are invited.
