It seems to me that, in addition to the word's regular meaning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada uses the term sobor to mean a large church serving a wide area that is not a cathedral. For example in Alberta they have St. John Cathedral and St. Andrew "Sobor" (both in Edmonton) and in Saskatchewan they have Holy Trinity Cathedral in Saskatoon and Descent Of The Holy Spirit "Sobor" in Regina (see: http://www.uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/search.asp). Am I understanding this right? Do other orthdox churches use the term this way? --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 16:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
