Архипастир - Archpriest
The term "archpriest" is awarded to certain married clergy. A somewhat comparable term for monastic clergy is "archimandrite," although this generally designates the head of a monastery.
Архип`астырь (м.)
- Наименование архиерея. Б`елое духов`енство (мн.) - Священнослужители, находящиеся в браке (в отличие от черного духовенства -священнослужителей, принявших монашество).
In Eastern Orthodoxy, the rank of archpriest remains as a title of honor or seniority. It is synonymous with that of protopresbyter in Greek usage, but in Slavic usage they are distinct offices. In either case, it is the highest rank married clergy can ordinarily expect to attain. Archpriests are styled "Very Reverend" and are distinguished by the award of a pectoral cross.
