Presbytery is where a presbyter (= religious elder) lives. Compare: for example, 'bakery'. -- Kaihsu 17:35, 2004 May 3 (UTC)

One could derive such from the greek roots, but that doesn't mean that such is in use anywhere. It is not reflected in the OED at all--Samuel J. Howard 17:39, 3 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

"Presbytery" isn't needed in the first line, that is merely a redirect to "priest" and "elder (religious)"--Samuel J. Howard 17:42, 3 May 2004 (UTC)Reply

Make this a real article?

It's not that helpful just to say "it could be any of these things". There must be a reason why the same word has such different meanings. Could anyone volunteer a real article on what the term "presbytery" means, its etymology, current usage etc? Stevage 14:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
