Probably will require a disambiguation[edit]

Just so you're on notice, this page will probably require to be moved to make way for a disambiguation page. Most people searching for "Evangelist" will not be looking for the Community of Christ office or The Church of Jesus Christ office. Check the list of "What links here" and you'll see that most of the links now linking here have nothing to do with this topic. It will probably be best to rename this and then have links here to the renamed article, to Evangelism and to Presiding Patriarch, as well as to any other similar articles.

Merge proposal[edit]

Please discuss at Talk:Patriarch (Latter Day Saints) as directed in the merge proposal tag. Rich Uncle Skeleton ^(talk) 05:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Use of -(Bickertonite) clarification[edit]

The rationale for using "The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite)" in the bulleted point about the Quorum of Seventy Apostles is that without having The Church of Jesus Christ wiki-linked, the name is fairly ambiguous. Why not link "The Church of Jesus Christ"? See WP:Disambiguation#Usage_guidelines:

Each bulleted entry should, in almost every case, have exactly one navigable (blue) link; including more than one link can confuse the reader

I don't think resolving the issue of ambiguity is a good enough reason to depart from this general rule when it can easily be resolved by the -(Bickertonite) disambiguator. And yes, I realise that members of this church dislike the term—but it is in common usage outside of the church as a means of disambiguating between other churches with similar names.

Presiding Evangelist[edit]

It states that presiding patriarch was changed to presiding evangelist in Community of Christ with the ordination of women. However in Various volumes of church history printed prior to 1984 the term Presiding Evangelist is used for the one presiding over the order of evangelists, also in some of the index if you look up presiding patriarch it says "see "presiding evangelist" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.195.28.64 (talk) 08:02, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
