References to the Anglican Communion Comemoration
I think that the reference that he is comemorated in the Anglican Communion is enough. Since the title of saint in the Anglican Communion is merely honorary, it doesn't have the same meaning of a saint for the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches, there is no need to make references to other Church members of the Anglican Communion because that would be superfluous. If he is comemorated by the Anglican Communion that means that he his honoured in general by the Calendars of Saints of the Church members of that denomination.85.241.144.15 (talk) 14:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The fact that the ECUSA commemorates him on a day of the year is notable and informative. What I don't understand from the logic you suggest is why you retained the information about commemoration in the Church of England.  Both churches' commemorations are noteworthy. In general, at Wikipedia, while we avoid piling up tedious details (or offload them to a sub-article as needed), "less is enough" and "that would be superfluous" are not adequate arguments for removing material.

The Church of England is the mother church of all the church members of the Anglican Communion. To state the obvious it basically means the same. My point is that enough is enough. The Anglican Communion is the same church for all their members. 82.154.80.94 (talk) 17:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * If the unity of the Anglican Communion were so simple that the article could state, "The churches of the Anglican Communion celebrate Gregory of Nazianzus on (date)," then it would, and I would be satisfied. As it is the ECUSA (call it what you will) commemorates him on a different date (together with some other bodies), and it's still utterly unclear to me what the harm is in stating that.  The fact that the Church of England is a "mother church" if anything only creates the confusion resolved by the article's statement of the difference in date between CoE and ECUSA.

I agree with Wareh, if the CofE and ECUSA celebrate him on different days, both should be mentioned. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 20:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I just added mention of the different commemoration in the Episcopal Church (on May 9, after doublechecking it online in a couple of sources, one of which calls the calendar in Holy Women Holy Men provisional though I think it adopted in the General Convention several years ago). Clearly from this discussion, it may have been in once but taken out, and I don't have time to check the history of this article. I agree with Carl.bunderson and Wareh (which seems to be the concensus here) that both dates should be mentioned. I also changed the entry in today's H&O mentioning Gregory from Anglican Communion to Episcopal Church. For what it's worth, I'm Episcopalian and also consider myself part of the Anglican Communion, though not aligned with the breakaway US churches. IMHO, whoever's doing this editing needs to stand up, rather than do this under the table.Jweaver28 (talk) 11:09, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Athanasius
In reading this article today, I was surprised that it was demoted from FA status. However, I did note the absence of a mention of Athanasius of Alexandria, whose pretty bad page I edited last week, and which still includes quotes from this Gregory. Frankly, I don't have the time (or probably the background) to edit that article into the pretty decent shape that this article's in, so if Majoreditor or someone else wants a big project, here's a heads up (or plea about another vital article). Or if someone wants a minor project, I'd be interested in any links between the two important figures in the fight against Arianism. I think Athanasius was Gregory's mentor, and perhaps Athanasius was allowed to return to Alexandria though Gregory's good offices (and connections with Emperors Justin and Valens), but both traveled around a lot and I don't have time to find the exact time and place connection.Jweaver28 (talk) 11:19, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

"Gregory's Holy Day"?
"The Roman Catholic Church observes his feast day on 2 January, which is also Gregory's Holy Day" What is "Holy Day" in this context? distinct from his feast day. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:19, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
