Washington
: 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.
