Talk:St Andrew's Church, Kyiv

message: I've implemented the idea of Irpen and removed the following passage:
unrecognized by major Orthodox patriarchate
Apart from discussing about what the F is major and how important could it be, anyone should agree that such details are irrelevant. We're building the article on the architectural landmark, not on inter-church quarrels. So no, Irpen, we should not say more than just that the church is "unrecognized".

replies: text: I modified the article with a more descriptive but still a very brief info on UAOC. Why this is relevant is discussed at talk page of St. Volodymyrs. --Irpen 02:27, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the part "a minority Ukrainian church unrecognized by the Eastern Orthodox Communion" is yet another decoration, which according to some (Ghirlandajo and Irpen) must stay. Why wikilink is not enough? Who knows... --Anonymous
Anonymous, just take a look in the article's history. I changed the formulation to a softer form than it was originally. Now, are you saying that the fact that one of the most prominent churches in Kiev is used by the organization whose claim to be called an "Orthodox Church" is not recognized in the Orthodox christianity is not important enough to be mentioned in the church's article? If so, just explain why you consider it too a minor detail. Please note, that we take no position whether UAPC is a "true" Orthodox church. Neither that is somehow illegitimate (which it isn't since it is properly registered in Ukraine). We simply state the fact about its standing within the worldwide Ortodoxy. --Irpen 06:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

text: It's a minor detail because the Andriyvska Church is a museum (and one of the top Kiev tourist attraction), and only occasionally it's used for religious service. That's what probably is enough to be mentioned. But then the name of organization, which is using the church ocassionally is given. That's what is really enough. But then the description of the organization is provided (as a "minority church"; "minor church" may be better). And then it follows with a detail that the church is not recognized by the Communion. Actually, all churches are equally recognized by the government. So, at the end, do we really need the frankly unrelated detail in this article? You know my answer. --Anonymous
Check Talk:St Volodymyr's Cathedral for a thorough discussion. --Irpen 08:51, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: UAOC Status

message: The article for the UAOC says that this church is their HQ and patriarchal cathedral.  Therefore it should be categorized as a cathedral.  Unless this in an error.  If so please change the UOAC article. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 22:43, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Being a resident of Kiev, I have always heard St. Andrew's called a church and never as a cathedral. There is some different opinions on what constitutes a church or a cathedral, but this one was too small to be considered one (I heard that somewhere, idk where gotta find the ref soon). It may just refer to it as just a patriarchal cathedral but in all reality its still considered a church (look at all the modern and historic news sources, museum sites, etc.)  --ddima.talk 05:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The building should still be categorized as a cathedra (seat of a bishop) is it is one, regardless of whether or not it is still popularly thought of a "just a church". --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 22:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cathedral 

message: This cathedral is a fine example of Eastern-style Baroque. But is it classified as Russian baroque or Ukrainian Baroque? Or a mixture of both? In Ukraine and Russia in Their Historical Encounter, Peter J. Potichnyj calls it St. Petersburg (Russian) Baroque. The Academic American Encyclopedia says the same. However, Sarah Johnstone and Greg Bloom call it Ukrainian Baroque. As far as I know, none of these people are architectural experts. What Baroque sub-style is it classified as? I want to add the picture to one of those articles, that's why I ask. If no one knows for certain, then I will add it to the Russian baroque article based on the first two sources. --ChristianHistory (talk) 05:47, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
