Addressing a letter, invitation, card or email (if there are differences between the official and social forms of address, i will have mentioned the different forms.) An address to a hieromonk, abbot and archimandrite may look like Bless, holy father or bless, honest father. the latter is more correct, since in orthodoxy it is not customary to use the words holy father, although in practice this address is used by the laity quite often. An orthodox presbyter is either married (usually serving as a parish priest) or celibate, generally belonging to a monastic order (hieromonachos) called archimandrite Bishops are usually chosen from the ranks of the archimandrites.
The abbot of a monastery is addressed as “the very reverend abbot,” whether he holds priestly rank or not and whether or not he is an archimandrite by rank Under no circumstances whatsoever is an orthodox monk addressed by laymen as “brother.” this is a latin custom.
