Life within the monastery follows that of coenobitic communities, but at Sinai, this is influenced by the earlier more heremetic monasticism. The Archbishop is also the Hegoumenos of the community. The senior fathers hold the various offices that comprise the Holy Council of the Fathers. These are the Dikaios, the Skevophylax, the Oikonomos, the Treasurer, the Secretary, and the Librarian. Each task is undertaken in humility and obedience, and in responsibility to the Hegoumenos and the community as a whole.
