Scottish Bishop

A Scottish bishop is a senior church leader within the Scottish Anglican or Scottish Episcopal Church, responsible for overseeing a specific geographical area called a diocese. They provide spiritual leadership, oversee clergy, and serve as a link between the church community and the broader church authority. Bishops perform religious services such as ordinations and confirmations, and they play a key role in promoting church teachings and community outreach. In Scotland, the bishop holds both spiritual and administrative responsibilities, guiding the church's mission and representing it within the wider society.
