Christianity The style "His Grace" and "Your Grace" is used in England and some other English-speaking countries to address Catholic
archbishops whose seats have come from an English diocesan background, which is not common in other countries (e.g. in
France, the
Philippines, and the United States
Catholic bishops are addressed using the style "
Excellency"). In the
Eastern Orthodox Church it is used for bishops and
abbots. The style is also used for an archbishop and some bishops in the
Anglican tradition. In
Ireland, the style "His/Your Grace" () is traditionally used for all Catholic bishops, not just archbishops. In the
United Methodist Church in the
United States, bishops are addressed "Your Grace" (spoken style), and "His/Her Grace" (reference style). The
Church of God in Christ addresses its
Presiding Bishop as "His Holy Grace" and "Your Holy Grace". The title solely for Catholic cardinals in reference style is "
His Eminence" and the spoken style is "Your Eminence". "Your Grace" is also an alternative style for the
Archbishops of Canterbury and
York in the Church of England and the
Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Other religions In Islam, several
Sufi orders (such as the Qadrianis and Hawariyun) may refer to their spiritual Grand Masters with the honorific "(Most) Gracious ..." or "His Grace" in reference style, while the spoken style is "(Most) Gracious".
International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON–
Hare Krishna) devotees prefix the name of their founder,
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, with "His Divine Grace". The Dalai Lama is also known as "His Holiness the 14th, Dalai Lama of Tibet". ==See also==
