Diocese of Syria

The Diocese of Syria was a major administrative region of the early Christian church, covering parts of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, including modern-day Syria, Lebanon, and parts of Turkey. It was established to organize church leadership, theology, and worship across this diverse area. The diocese helped coordinate clergy, support local congregations, and maintain church unity amid regional challenges. Over time, it played a significant role in shaping Christian practice and doctrine in the Middle East, serving as a key center for religious and cultural development during late antiquity and the early medieval period.
