Bishop

A bishop is a senior leader within various Christian denominations, responsible for overseeing multiple churches or congregations. They provide spiritual guidance, administer sacraments, and support clergy in their duties. Bishops often have a significant role in church governance, participating in decision-making and policies that affect their communities. In some traditions, they are seen as successors to the apostles, holding a special status in the church hierarchy. Additionally, bishops may conduct ceremonial duties, such as ordaining new ministers, and are often involved in community and interfaith activities.
