→Hierarchies
It would probably be useful to note the variation in the hierarchies among Orthodox sources as noted [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_angelic_hierarchy#Choirs_scheme_in_medieval_theology here]. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

:Come to think of it, why don't we just copy that section in the wikipedia article into this orthodoxwiki artcle? xD But personally, I prefer to follow St John of Damascus' order/scheme/hierarchy since he's also the patron saint of orthodoxwiki... furthermore, in the [http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=Angels&diff=prev&oldid=8895 original version of this article back in 2005], the order of the 9 choirs of angels in the Sources and External Links is the same as the order in St John of Damascus' [http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf209.iii.iv.ii.iii.html ''An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith''], i.e. First Hierarchy (Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones), Second Hierarchy (Dominions/Dominations/Lordships, '''Virtues'''/Authorities, Powers, Authorities/Virtues), Third Hierarchy ('''Principalities''', Archangels, Angels), which is what [http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=Angels&diff=97096&oldid=95864 my edit] reflected...---[[User:Preciouspearlfan|Preciouspearlfan]]
