I heroically restrained myself from jocularly stating in the article that Eastern Orthodox theologians cannot write a paragraph without using the word "canonical" four or five times. (Mathematicians also frequently use that word, but not as often as Eastern clergy.) Michael Hardy 02:08, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)

This article is largely redundant with Eastern Orthodoxy and should be folded in insofar as possible. Maybe as a summary at the beginning? - David Gerard 14:59, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC)

I think perhaps this page could be moved to Eastern Orthodox Church organization, or something like that, since it's about how the church is organized, rather than about other aspects. Michael Hardy 02:56, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Indeed Michael, it was heroic!, we do have a difficult time restraining from using the word " canonical" since , at the core, it is what the Orthodox Church is, it is ( or so we claim) the canonical Church. The Church that conforms to the Holy Canons. Though I will do what I can to restrain myself .

I don't know who the right people to contact are, but a chart of this would be lovely. User:Erik Zachte, perhaps? --IvanP/(болтай) 03:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
