[edit] OCA?

Shouldn't Metropolitan Herman (Swaiko) of the OCA be on this list? --Jfruh (talk) 22:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• I suppose that depends on who you ask. Currently the OCA's autocephaly is not recognized by all other Orthodox Churches, so that would be the argument for leaving him off the list. But they are recognized by the Churches of Russia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Poland, and Czech and Slovak lands, so that's the argument for including him. Personally, I would vote to include him. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 17:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

The addressing for a patriarch (in estern orthodoxy) it is always His Beatitude (or Your Beatitude ) His Hollines it is for Mitropolitans and archbishops. I will change back to the last version It is a exception when the metropolitan church or the archbishopric it is a autocephalous churche. For the ,,head" of that church you must adress him with Your Beatitude. Arthasfleo (talk) 13:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Links

There appears to be a lack of uniformity, as far as the links from the abbreviations are concerned—some link to the countries and some to the churches. I will attempt to find the remaining Church links and use them in the template; most of them should exist. Waltham, The Duke of 14:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
