I was going to link sobor but went and looked at that article first, adn this is its definition:
- In Eastern Orthodox Churches that use a Slavic language (the Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Serbian Orthodox Churches), along with the Romanian Orthodox Church, a sobor is a council of bishops together with other clerical and lay delegates representing the church as a whole in matters of importance. The name is derived from the Church Slavonic word for "assembly".
- A sobor is distinct from a synod, which is a gathering composed only of bishops. Sobors are held irregularly, only as need arises; whereas a synod meets regularly and deals with the ordinary governance of the church. The presence of clerical and lay delegates is for the purpose of discerning the consensus of the church on important matters; however, the bishops form an upper house of the sobor, and the laity cannot overrule their decisions.
I suspect waht may be needed is a second definition on the sobor page for this meaning - the one you use on this page here - to be shown there, i.e. a sobor as a grade of church, one step down from a cathedral? I don't know enough either way, but thought I'd point it out. If there's another definition for sobor, please add it to either page and cite it if you can, and also link it from here.Skookum1 (talk) 01:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
