Talk:Birmingham Orthodox Cathedral

Name

Shouldn't this article be at Dormition of the Mother of God and St Andrew, Birmingham which is currently a redirect to here rather than vice-versa. The term Birmingham Orthodox Cathedral is imprecise as there are several Orthodox Churches; this cathedral happens to be a church of the Greek Orthodox Church. Birmingham's other two cathedrals are both referred to by their names, Saint Chad's Cathedral and St Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham. If no objections I will make this the re-direct and Dormition of the Mother of God and St Andrew, Birmingham the article page. Valiantis 16:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I am inclined to agree, particularly as Orthodox is not specific. However, I note that it was renamed on 3rd March. Oosoom 09:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It was renamed. I believe incorrectly and without discussion. Valiantis 13:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Its name board shows a different spelling in transliterated Greek: The Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition of Theolokos and Saint Andreas (Theolokos = Mother of God). The BCC listed buildings document calls it the Greek Orthodox Cathedral - concise at least. Oosoom 20:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually that's Theotokos, tricky to read the gothic lettering! Valiantis 23:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Picking this up after 17 years, I wonder whether Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Dormition of Theotokos and Saint Andrew would be the best option, since that's what the cathedral themselves have on their sign and website. Rob (talk) 14:42, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Location

Can someone please put coordinates on this article to the location of this place. I don't know where this is, myself, and it would help others if either geographical coordinates or a grid reference were put on this article. Thanks. - Erebus555 19:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Nice one! I'll add these to the article! - Erebus555 20:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Dates

When did this stop being a Catholic Apostolic church, and become an Orthodox cathedral? Was there a gap between those events? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
