Apostle as epithet for missionaries beyond the 70 & 12
::: Well, sure. It was simply an example that came to mind immediately. Unless there are strenuous objections to including a mention of "Apostle to the X," I think we should leave it in, because it is being used, and I honestly don't see what might be wrong with it. (What was the content of that objection you noted above?) --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 06:11, 28 Jan 2005 (CST)
:: The context (that's what you meant, right?) was me being corrected by my priest for calling Ss. Cyril and Methodius "Apostles to the Slavs," which is the common non-Orthodox epithet for them (see the BCP or Roman Catholic calendars). He told me that they aren't really called that in Orthodox tradition, and intimated that Archbishop DMITRI frowned on it. IOW, someone probably got corrected by his emminence at some point. My recollection of the reason behind the correction was that ''apostle'' as an epithet is reserved for the Apostles. If no one else is going to object, my comment should be noted as a concern or a hesitation rather than an objection. --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 20:58, 28 Jan 2005 (CST)
