Also, the aim of this particular timeline, in my mind, is to capture the key dates which relate to the founding of each "Metropolis", and its Sub-Diocese, the date of consecration for the Metropolitans, Archbishops, Bishops and any dates specific to saints from the [[Greek Saints]] category - this is going to be a huge task for me so if anyone volunteers information that will be great.

What is the source for the A.D. 200 date for the death of St. Quadratus? If he's one of the Seventy, how could he still have been alive in 200? Assuming he was perhaps 20 years old when Christ chose him, he would have to be over 180 years old in 200. Eusebius lists him as a disciple of the Twelve, which places his birthdate sometime in the early to mid-first century. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

:Hi, my source was [[List of Archbishops of Athens]] which has been primarily edited by yourself and a [[Iliang]]. {{unsigned|Ixthis888}}
:: The source for that article was the Wikipedia version. Perhaps the Apostle Quadratus is a different person than the bishop of Athens listed. The ''Prologue from Ohrid'' indicates that he died in 130[http://www.westsrbdio.org/prolog/my.html?day=21&month=September]. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

::: I believe that it is the dates in the [[List of Archbishops of Athens]] article that are questionable. The [http://ocafs.oca.org/FeastSaintsViewer.asp?SID=4&ID=1&FSID=102683 Apostle Quadratus of the Seventy] (OCA) and [http://www.westsrbdio.org/prolog/my.html?day=21&month=September The Holy Apostle Quadratus] (''Prologue from Ohrid'') cited in [[Apostle Quadratus]] say he was bishop after St. Publius. (I don't think St. Publius's dates in the list article are right either.) - [[User:Andrew|Andrew]] 20:18, April 14, 2008 (UTC)
== Communism? ==
I'm not a scholar of the political history of modern Greece, but I wonder whether the "era dating" borrowed from the [[Timeline of Church History]] is appropriate for this article, as well. Did Greece also have the same dates for the establishment of Communism as did Russia and the rest of the countries behind the Iron Curtain? —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

: I agree Fr Andrew, absolutely :). It would not seem to apply. I haven't had time myself to think about this article yet, but an adjusted "era dating" system should be thought out for sure. Hats off to Vassiliki for thinking about this article to begin with however. On another note Fr., I was hoping you would have time to finish editing the rest of the [[Timeline of Church History]] from 1453-present, (plus a few more additions I did before 1453), as I look forward to that. Cheers [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]]
:: Indeed, yes! This article is a fine idea. I hope that eventually a good many other articles like this may be created. It would probably work best if each were divided up according to what makes most sense for the history of the Church in those areas.
:: As for the [[Timeline of Church History]], I do hope to get to it soon. I've been traveling lately, and some of my wiki-time has also been taken up with other stuff. Soon, though. —[[User:ASDamick|<font size="3.5" color="green" face="Adobe Garamond Pro, Garamond, Georgia, Times New Roman">Fr.

== Linking ==
Hey Chris, is it possible to link the geographical locations of Greece to the relevant metropolis rather than to the Wikipedia? The idea would be to encourage people to stay within OrthodoxWiki for one thing and second it would link to the ecclesiastical history of the area rather than a general wiki article about the geographical location ...Example [[Patmos]] rather than [[w:Patmos]] or [[Archdiocese of Athens|Athens]] rather than [[w:Athens]]. What do you think? I think it is a good idea ... [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]]
:Hi Vasiliki yes of course that would a great idea to link to the metropolis. Will do. A few subjects though, such as the [http://wiki.phantis.com/index.php/Arkadi holocaust of Arkadi Monastery] in Crete, have no info yet on OW, so we'll either have to start new articles or have an external link there. But will try to stay inside OW for sure. Cheers, [[User:Angellight 888|Angellight 888]] 03:43, January 5, 2009 (UTC)
== Evangelising in Greece - Apostolic times ==
Dearest Chris (Angelight888), dont forget that Lazarus and the Virgin Mary were also present in Greece and would need to be incorporated into the intro paragraph ... Cyprus was not always independant from Greece and to some degree is still considered to be "Greek" although politically the agenda has changed in much recent times.

I think I'm giving up on editing timelines as my system can't handle their length. Please re-store the file! [[User:Wsk|Wsk]] 18:36, May 30, 2009 (UTC)
