An '''archpriest''' is a non-monastic [[priest]] elevated with an honorific rank, equivalent to the [[monastic]] [[archimandriteigumen]], though ranking one position lower. Archpriests are styled ''The Very Reverend''. In Slavic tradition, there is a further rank of mitered archpriest.
The honor is usually given as a recoginition of exemplary service or faithfulness to one's duties while in their current office.
