Changes

The '''Western Rite''' refers to those churches that are full and equal members of is a minority liturgical tradition within the Orthodox Church yet follow a Western form of worship. Liturgical diversity, both between and within the East and West, was common before the [[Great Schism]]. Western Rite Orthodox Christians hold in common the full Orthodox faith with their brethren of the [[Byzantine Rite]], and at present, all of the [[bishop]]s who care for such [[parish]]es are themselves followers of the Byzantine Rite.
