Talk:List of people from Crete

Was Titus a bishop in Crete or the appointer of bishops

edit

Inasmuch as elder (presbyteros) and bishop (episkopos) are synonymous offices in the NT, and inasmuch as Titus was to appoint elders in Crete; should he not rather be called an appointer of bishops, rather than a bishop? Is there some contemporary source which calls Titus a bishop? Was he not more accurately called a missionary and an apostolic legate of Paul? The only contemporary source I know of for this is the Book of Titus, and data in a secondary source which is not supported by ancient contemporary sources (duly cited and footnoted) would not be a reliable secondary source.

Removing muslims from the list that were not born in Crete

edit

There are literally 1000s of Greeks, muslims - even many Armenians who have some distant or even close family originally from Crete. However only those who were actually born in Crete should make the page - of people from Crete as the title of the page suggesst. I am therefore removing Halil Berktay, Sezen Aksu, Ömer Kavur, Hüsamettin Cindoruk and Mustafa Fehmi Kubilay from this section. All were born in Turkey and although some have a parent or two born in Crete - they themselves are not born or raised in Crete. Having said that - any parent of the above that was actually from Crete - if they were notable - I am happy to add them to the list. Reaper7 (talk) 21:24, 10 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
