An '''archpriest''' is a non-monastic [[priest]] elevated with an honorific rank, equivalent to the [[monastic]] [[archimandriteigumen]], though ranking one position lower. Archpriests are styled ''The Very Reverend''. In Slavic tradition, there is a further rank of mitered archpriest.

ProtopresbyterThe term '''''protopresbyter''''' (or '''''protopriest''''') is equivalent to ''archpriest'' in Greek practice, while in Slavic usage, a protopresbyter is a rank separate from and higher than archpriestand mitered archpriest. Sometimes the protopresbyter is styled as ''The Right Reverend''. There Also, there are usuaully usually only a handful of protopresbyters in a given Slavic national church at any one time.

In Greek practice, archpriests wear a [[pectoral cross ]] to designate their rank, while in Slavic practice, all priests wear pectoral crosses regardless of rank. In Slavic practice, the different ranks of priests are also distinguished by different types of crosses, and the archpriest usually wears a gold cross.{{Clergy/wide}}[[Category:Clergy]][[Category:Priests]]
