Orthodox diaspora is facing in the 21st century a double challenge: on the one hand globalization and on the other the technological revolution, which brought the faithful of the West to be simultaneously in their national countries and in their new homelands. The Orthodox Church has organized the government of a local ecclesiastical community on the principle "one Eucharist - one bishop", a criterion which unfortunately is not observed in the diaspora, due to the mediation of many "national" jurisdictions. The article presents the teaching of the Holy and Great Council of Crete on the issue and the solution that the Synod has indicated. The article considers also some possible solutions for the canonical "normalization" of the matter, through possibly the greater emancipation of the ecclesiastical communities of the diaspora. In any case, the diaspora has the potential to dialogue with the world outside, more than the national Autocephalous Churches can. This is a key-challenge both for the witness of the Gospel and the promotion and renewal of the Orthodox tradition.
