The Miersan Episemialist Church (Miersan: Mierski kościół epizemialny), also known as the Patriarchate of Miersa (Miersan: Patriarchat Wszechmiersy), is a Miersan Sotirian Episemialist church that operates within Miersa.
History
Early Church
While there is ample evidence that Sotirianity first reached present-day Miersa during the Solarian Empire between 311 CE and 400 CE, when the Empire had control over parts of the present-day partially recognised state of Lemovicia, and the present-day West Miersan voivodeship of Malomiersa, it is unclear whether these Sotirian communities lasted long enough to have a significant influence over the development of Miersan Sotirianity, let alone what rite these communities were associated with.
According to the Miersan Episemialist Church, the Sotirian Church was re-established in Miersa by TBD in TBC, with TBD sent to proselytize the Marolevs living in the Miersan Basin. (TBC)
Kingdom of Miersa
peasants believed in Episemialism, elites believed in Solarian Catholicism, especially moreso in the western regions of the Kingdom of Miersa: efforts to crack down probably ebbed and flowed, particularly after the Lesser Schism in 1385
Partition of Miersa
stronger in western Miersa as that fell under Soravian control, while Episemialism weakens in the east as Gaullica makes the east Catholic, is subject to Soravian influence
Modern era
probably is recognised as a junior patriarchate in the 1930s upon West Miersa's independence from Soravia, uneventful until late 1970s when Lemovicia breaks away and nationalists set up Lemovician Episemialist Church, and the two are at each other's throats, with Miersa claiming the Lemovician Church are schismatics
Organisation
Patriarch
The head of the Miersan Episemialist Church is the patriarch (Miersan: patriarcha), officially the Archbishop of Żobrodź and the Patriarch of All Miersa. (TBC)
Holy Synod
The governing body of the Miersan Episemialist Church is the Holy Synod (Miersan: święty synod). Originally the endemic synod (Miersan: synod endemiczny), the Endemic synod was replaced by a permanent Holy Synod in 1889
Structure
The Miersan Episemialist Church is organised into TBD metropolitanates within the territory of Miersa, who in turn oversee TBD archdioceses and TBA dioceses. As the Miersan diaspora spread, the Miersan Episemialist Church also operates metropolitanates in areas where there is extensive settlement by Episemialist Miersans.
