Archdeacon
An archdeacon is a senior clergy position in the Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Anglican Communion, St Thomas Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches and some other Christian denominations, above that of most clergy and below a bishop. In the High Middle Ages it was the most senior diocesan position below a bishop in the Catholic Church. An archdeacon is often responsible for administration within an archdeaconry, which is the principal subdivision of the diocese. The ''Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church'' has defined an archdeacon as "A cleric having a defined administrative authority delegated to him by the bishop in the whole or part of the diocese.". The office has often been described metaphorically as that of ''oculus episcopi'', the "bishop's eye".

Aigburth
Aigburth () is a suburb of Liverpool, England. Located to the south of the city, it is bordered by Dingle, Garston, Mossley Hill, and Toxteth. Etymology The name Aigburth comes from Old Norse ''eik'' and ''berg'', meaning ''oak-tree hill''. The name can be interpreted as "hill where oak trees grow" and is a hybrid place-name: the first part of the name is from Old Norse ''eik'' meaning "oak tree" (which is found in Eikton in Cumbria and Eakring in Nottinghamshire) and Old English ''beorg'' or ''berg'' meaning ''hill'' but as there is no real hill in Aigburth the sense here is more likely to be ''rising ground''. Beorg or berg is more usually rendered ''-borough'' (as in Barlborough in Derbyshire) or more rarely as ''-barrow'' (as in Backbarrow in Cumbria). The name was also recorded as ''Eikberei'' in an undated record. A possible other meaning of Aigburth is Aiges' Berth, meaning the place where the Viking Aiges berthed his long boat. This is plausible because Aigburth is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
