The Alexandrian Curia is the administrative apparatus of the Holy See of St. Natsanet and the central governing body through which the Archbishop of Geneva exercises his jurisdictional authority over the Autocephalous Nazarene Church of Alexandria. Based in Geneva, the Curia functions as a complex network of departments, congregations, tribunals, and offices that collectively implement church policy, manage ecclesiastical affairs, and coordinate the church's global activities.
Originally established during the imperial period, the Curia underwent significant reorganization following the collapse of Alexandria in 1651 AN. Today's Curial structure reflects both its ancient origins and the adaptations necessitated by the church's transformation into an autocephalous institution serving a diaspora community across multiple nations.
Each department within the Curia is headed by a Cardinal or Archbishop appointed directly by the Archbishop of Geneva, who serves as the ultimate authority in all curial matters. The Curia is often described as the ecclesiastical civil service of the Church, enabling the Archbishop to extend his pastoral and administrative authority throughout the international Alexandrian Nazarene community.
