further simplification
The word '''''rectorProistamenos''''' (from Latin, ''regere''Greek, "to rulethe one who presides") is used as the title of the [[priest]] or [[bishop]] who is in charge of a [[parish]] or in an administrative leadership position in a theological [[seminary]] or [[academy]]. It essentially translates the traditional Greek ''proistamenos'', which means "the one who presides."
Less commonly, ''''Rector'rector' is not used universally in English-speaking Orthodoxy, which usually simply uses the term ''[[parish]] [[priest]]'' or (in Greek parishes) from Latin, ''proistamenosregere'', "to rule") is used in some [[jurisdiction]]s to mean roughly the same thing.
