Current status: Good article

Lists: Notability?

The recent list additions as separate articles really ought to be incorporated into this article. This OCA is of relatively recent origin and quite small compared to most of the Orthodox churches, even compared with other jurisdictions in the US. 71.241.105.203 18:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that some of the basic content of the new lists should be incorporated, but to incorporate the entire content of those articles would make this one rather unwieldy. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 01:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a question of where to include all this information, but rather whether to do so. IMO, these lists are not notable enough to be included as encyclopedia articles on Wikipedia. 71.241.103.135 02:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Passed GA

A very nice article, comprehensive and well-cited. Good work. MLilburne 20:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing

As the article moves toward A class, info about worship and liturgy & doctrine and practice needs to be added. -- Secisek (talk) 11:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Galicians

There is no such nationality or national community as Galicians. There are people from Galicia. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 07:36, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Western Rite

I am aware that there are Western Rite Parishes under the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America, and there are also Western Rite Parishes of ROCOR in America, but I am personally not aware of any Western Rite Parishes under/in the OCA. Maybe I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that there are no Western Rite parishes under the OCA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.228.189 (talk) 23:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it from the liturgies until someone can demonstrate it. Vypr (talk) 01:13, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found a single WR mission in Alberta, Canada under the OCA. I've added it to the liturgies as well as a note explaining the exception. — Seraphim R.P. [Vypr] (talk) (09:40, Wednesday, December 25, 2024 (UTC))

Correct. Byzantine Rite only in OCA. Divine Liturgy is that of St John Chrysostom or St. Basil.
