Requested move

[edit]

I suggest that Diocese of Borgå should be renamed and moved to Diocese of Porvoo. Diocese is better known for its Finnish name because of Porvoo Communion. (Terot (talk) 20:02, 9 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]

The name of the diocese is quite obviously Diocese of Borgå as it is a diocese for Swedish speakers. The name of city should of course be Porvoo. The same goes for any building in the city, so it should be Porvoo Cathedral even though the cathedral is used mainly be Swedish speakers. The diocese, however, is not located in Porvoo, it is just administred from the city.Jeppiz (talk) 19:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
