[OSM-newbies] Church hierarchy

[John Sturdy]

I haven't seen any; what type of objects are you looking at mapping?
You could map the boundaries of the administrative areas, although I
don't think this is done.  For example, for my area and my
denomination (Anglican), if I search on the front page map for the
government county "Cambridgeshire", I get the county boundary, as a
relation containing several ways, but if I search for "Diocese of Ely"
I don't get anything.  But if you have the boundaries of the
lowest-level units (e.g. parishes) you could map those, and then build
deaneries and dioceses on top of those.
