==Washington==
If you could list the names of the Antiochian Orthodox parishes in Washington DC, that would be much appreciated thanks. chrisg 2006-06-06-2323 EAST
 
: St. George and St. Gregory are in DC proper, while Ss. Peter & Paul is in Potomac, MD, and Holy Cross is in Linthicum, MD.
 
: In any event, though, assuming this is in reference to my recent reversion, the wording of the edit did not specify Antiochian parishes only, but simply used the phrase "the parish priest of Washington, D.C." There are in fact seven Orthodox parishes in DC proper, and another two dozen or so in the DC metropolitan area. The wording as it was made it seem that Metr. Paul was the only parish priest in the whole area. If a reference to the particular parish (presumably St. George Antiochian) were given, this confusion would be avoided. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

How come St Gregory is not listed on the North American website? (Antiochian). chrisg 2006-06-07-0023 EAST
 
: I don't know. I found it via the [http://www.orthodoxyinamerica.org/ orthodoxyinamerica.org site]. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

The then Archimandrite Paul Saliba says he was an Antiochian Orthodox priest. He says he was THE parish priest of Washington DC. Because he was an Antiochian Orthodox priest, he assumes Orthodox people would also assume he was referring to his own jurisdiction.
 
Metropolitan Philip (Antiochian Orthodox, North America), appointed him as THE parish priest of Washington DC.
 
If you like, you could say he was the Antiochian Orthodox parish priest of Washington DC. He says there was no other Antiochian Orthodox parish priest of Washington DC. He was THE parish priest of Washington DC (within his own jurisdiction).
 
The State of Maryland is a separate state outside the District of Columbia. I am instructed to say the capital city of Washington is in the District of Columbia, not in Maryland.
 
A matter for you as editor, of course. chrisg 2006-06-07-0959 EAST
 
: It is true that Maryland is outside DC proper, but metropolitan Washington, DC, extends into multiple states, including Maryland (and thus includes parishes in Metr. Philip's diocese, even if those states may individually belong to other Antiochian dioceses). In any event, I'm not sure why this needs to be made an issue, just that it should be made clear in the article that he wasn't the only Orthodox parish priest in the city (which is what the change from "a" to "the" seems to imply). (OrthodoxWiki articles do not usually assume only one jurisdiction in areas where multiple ones exist.) Anyhow, I've changed the wording to try to be more specific. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

::Not professing to know terribly much about Orthodoxy in the USA, I don't want to intrude terribly much; but, the terminology of being the parish priest of a particular area seems...strange, at least to me. Priests, to me, are priests ''of'' a church that is ''in'' a location. That being said, I don't want to edit to reflect this as it may not reflect either Antiochian practise or universal English usage. &mdash; edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="red">Pι</font>]][[Special:Listusers/sysop|s]][[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="yellow">τ</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|é]][[User:Pistevo|<font color="blue">vο</font>]] at 21:47, June 6, 2006 (CDT)
 
::: It is not customary for Orthodox priests here to be referred to as "of [place]," but rather as you say, "of" a church that is "in" a place. I'm honestly somewhat baffled here. :/ &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font color="blue"><b><i>Dcn.

::::That being the case, this could be just a question of standard English usage, and as such, 'in' must override 'of'. (That also avoids irritating - but leading to no less than the same conclusion - questions of church hierarchy and the place of bishops and their priests) &mdash; edited by [[User:Pistevo|<font color="red">Pι</font>]][[Special:Listusers/sysop|s]][[User talk:Pistevo|<font color="yellow">τ</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Pistevo|é]][[User:Pistevo|<font color="blue">vο</font>]] at 17:48, June 7, 2006 (CDT)
==More on Status, Title, and Territory==
The question of status, title, and territory has been clarified. Please delete the reference to "and All Oceania" from the title for this article. Thanks

: Fixed! I'm curious as to what occurred in this regard. &mdash;[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

Indeed! A lot of people are curious. Item 4 at http://www.antiochian.net/content/view/602/6/ is somewhat pertinent, as is http://www.orthodox.org.ph/ . More to follow in the next few weeks. Thanks for the fix. [[User:Chrisg|Chrisg]] 06:03, March 28, 2007 (PDT)
