[edit] Name

Shouldn't this article be at Dormition of the Mother of God and St Andrew, Birmingham which is currently a redirect to here rather than vice-versa. The term Birmingham Orthodox Cathedral is imprecise as there are several Orthodox Churches; this cathedral happens to be a church of the Greek Orthodox Church. Birmingham's other two cathedrals are both referred to by their names, Saint Chad's Cathedral and St Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham. If no objections I will make this the re-direct and Dormition of the Mother of God and St Andrew, Birmingham the article page. Valiantis 16:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree, particularly as Orthodox is not specific. However, I note that it was renamed on 3rd March. Oosoom 09:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
It was renamed. I believe incorrectly and without discussion. Valiantis 13:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Its name board shows a different spelling in transliterated Greek: The Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition of Theolokos and Saint Andreas (Theolokos = Mother of God). The BCC listed buildings document calls it the Greek Orthodox Cathedral - concise at least. Oosoom 20:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually that's Theotokos, tricky to read the gothic lettering! Valiantis 23:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Can someone please put coordinates on this article to the location of this place. I don't know where this is, myself, and it would help others if either geographical coordinates or a grid reference were put on this article. Thanks. - Erebus555 19:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
