Suvorov then lived for some years in retirement on his estate of Konchanskoe, near Novgorod. He criticised the new military tactics and dress introduced by the emperor, and some of his caustic verse reached the ears of Paul. His conduct therefore came under surveillance and his correspondence with his wife, who had remained at Moscow - for his marriage relations had not been happy - was tampered with. On Sundays he tolled the bell for church and sang among the rustics in the village choir. On week days he worked among them in a smock frock. ...

Bishops wear a Pectoral Cross in both their regular dress and when attending or serving liturgy. If the bishop wears a clerical suit, the Pectoral Cross is placed in his shirt breast pocket, kept over his heart. If a cassock is worn, the Pectoral Cross is either suspended from the Bishop's neck and left to hang freely, or the chain is worn around the neck with the Cross is suspended from one of the buttons on the front of the cassock — usually when the bishop is wearing a zucchetto. However, since bishops often take their zucchetti off when they are outdoors to keep it ...

In the Roman Catholic Church, the reader is known in Latin as a lector and is not permitted to read the Gospel during the Mass. The reading of the Gospel is reserved specifically to the deacon, or in the absence of a deacon, to the priest. The function of proclaiming the readings is ministerial, not presidential, and therefore should, if at all possible, be exercised by individuals other than the presider. (Presidential referring to acts to be performed by the presider, ministerial referring to duties p ...

The role of deacons in this church is also widely varied. Generally they are put in control of various programs of a congregation. They are servants, as the etymology indicates, of the church. They are under the subjection of the elders, as is the rest of the congregation. Their qualifications are found in the New Testament, in 1 Timothy 3:8-13 (Waddey, John; et al. (1981). The title deacon is becoming obsolete, as many churches are adopting other functional terms such as ministry leaders or team leaders. "Deacon" as a title, has beco ...

The diaconate is also an office in many Protestant denominations. In United Methodism, it is one of two ordained clergy offices, the other being that of Elder. Deacons are ordained to Word and Service and assist Elders (who are ordained to Word, Sacrament, and Order) in equipping the saints for ministry. Deacons are also appointed or elected in other Protestant denominations, though this is less commonly seen as a step towards the Ministry. The role of deacon in these denominations varies a great deal from denomination to denom ...

The use of pectoral crosses has been revived in the Church of England since the Reformation. Strictly limited to bishops, the absence of legal authority has led to the use of pectoral crosses by some lower ranked clergy.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Reader (in Greek, anagnostis) is the second highest of the minor orders of clergy. This order is higher than the Doorkeeper (now largely obsolete) and lower than the subdeacon. The reader's essential role is to read the Old Testament and Epistle lessons during the Divine Liturgy and other services, as well as to chant the Psalms and the verses of certain antiphons. There is a special service for the tonsuring of a reader, although in contemporary practice an layman may receive the priest's blessing ...
