Awards in Greek Orthodox practice
Different areas have different variations on clerical awards. An example of these is Metropolitan Isaiah's Protocol 01-22, which sets forth the clerical awards of the Greek Orthodox Diocese of Denver (now Metropolis), USA. There are no necessary timelines for progression along these ranks.
Ranks for married non-monastic priests may include:
* '''Presbyter''': An ordained priest. A priest of the rank of presbyter is able to wear the [[kamilavka|kalimafhi]].
* '''Sakellarios''': From the Greek σακελλάριος, meaning an official financial and administrative duties (cf. sakellē or sakellion, "purse, treasury"). Historically indicated a priest responsible for sacred vessels. A priest elevated to 'sakellarios' is given the right to wear the ''[[epigonation]]''.
