Charles Buck Theological Dictionary: ARCH-PRESBYTER


Subjects in this Topic:

Or ARCH-PRIEST, a priest established in some dioceses with a superiority over the rest. He was anciently chosen out of the college of presbyters, at the pleasure of the bishop. The arch-presbyters were much of the same nature with our deans in cathedral churches.
