==Lists==
===List of names===
The diptychs is a list of names of the living and departed that are commemorated by the [[parish ]] during the [[Divine Liturgy]]. The living are inscribed on one side of the diptych, and the departed on the other. When a living member departs, the name is crossed off on side and entered on the other. More common today, the list is on folded cardboard or in a booklet.
===List of primates===
The diptychs is a list of names used by an [[autocephalous]] church to commemorate the [[primate]]s of all the world's [[autocephaly|autocephalous]] churches. The names in the diptychs are read liturgically by the [[deacon ]] (and echoed by the choir) only at a [[Hierarchical Divine Liturgy]] celebrated by a [[patriarch]] or autocephalous primate.
The phrase ''inscribing of a [[bishop]]'s name in the diptychs'' means that the church considers itself to be in communion with him, the removal of a bishop's name would indicate breaking communion with him.
