This article is about a clerical position. For other meanings, please see Bishop (disambiguation).
A bishop is an ordained person who holds a specific position of authority in any of a number of Christian churches.
Bishops in the New Testament
The bishop's role is typically called the "episcopacy", because the word "bishop" is derived ultimately from the Greek word episkopos (επισκοπος), which literally means overseer. Episkopos is used in the New Testament in the epistle of St Paul to Timothy 3:1-7 and Paul's epistle to Titus 1:5-9, which contains a description for the bishop's qualifications and duties. The bishop's stated duties entail administration; the bishop is described as the "steward of God." (Titus 1:7, KJV) Those duties also include teaching; the bishop is enjoined to "hold fast the faithful word, as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." (Titus 1:9)
The bishop must be even-tempered, sober, just, holy, and temperate; he should not be a novice Christian. A bishop is expected to rule his own house well, "having all his children in subjection with all gravity." He should be the "husband of (only) one wife." Whether this enjoins a bishop to have never been remarried, requires a bishop to be married, or simply disqualifies a candidate who practices polygamy are questions of interpretation about which there are several opinions. At this stage in the history of Christianity, bishops were permitted to marry and have children.
The bishops are also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles 20:28, in which they are described as "shepherds". In Latin, a shepherd is a pastor. To refer to a member of the Christian clergy as "pastor" refers to the image of the bishop as shepherd of his "flock." The passage in Acts seems to view the office of bishop as referring to the same office as the "elders."
"Elders," "presbyters," or "priests" --- translations differ --- are also mentioned in the Epistle to Titus, in a manner that makes it difficult to determine whether a separate level of hierarchy above or below the bishop is intended; it seems that here the words are synonyms also. The Epistle to Timothy mentions deacons in a manner that indicates more clearly that the office of deacon differs from the office of the bishop, and is subordinate to it, though it carries similar qualifications.
Bishops in civil government
During the Middle Ages in Europe, after the fall of the Roman Empire, bishops often acquired the status of feudal lords.
Bishops of the Church of England still sit as peers in the House of Lords in Great Britain, as representatives of the state church. In France before the French Revolution, representatives of the clergy --- in practice, bishops and abbots of the largest monasteries --- comprised one of the three Estates in the Estates-General, until their role was abolished during the French Revolution
A number of bishops served as Electors in the Holy Roman Empire. By the terms of the Golden Bull of 1356. the Bishops of Mainz, Trier, and Cologne were made permanent electors who chose the next Emperor upon the death of his predecessor. The bishop of Mainz was, in fact, the head of the electors. As electors of the Holy Roman Empire, these bishops were sovereigns in their own right, and governed their dioceses in civil as well as ecclesiastical matters. By virtue of their electorates, the bishop of Mainz held the office of the High Chancellor of Germany; Cologne was High Chancellor of Italy, and Trier was High Chancellor of Burgundy.
But, of course, the highest prince bishop is the Pope, who ruled as monarch of the Papal States by virtue of his title as Bishop of Rome. His claim to this fief rested on the forged Donation of Constantine, but in fact his authority over this kingdom in central Italy grew slowly after the collapse of Roman and Byzantine authority in the area. The Papal States were abolished when King Victor Emmanuel II took possession of Rome in 1870 and completed the reunification of Italy. This became a perennial source of tension between the Papacy and the government of Italy. In 1929, Pope Pius XI made a deal with the Fascist government of Benito Mussolini and became the monarch of the Vatican, and he was recognised as an independent monarch by the Lateran Treaties, a throne the current Pope continues to enjoy.
Bishops in the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican churches
Bishops are especially prominent among the leadership of the Roman Catholic church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and Anglican church. Bishops are generally responsible for leading a large or heavily-populated area (a diocese) and all the churches contained therein. An archbishop is a bishop in charge of an important diocese; however, an archbishop does not hold a higher rank than any other bishop. The Pope, in addition to being the leader of the Roman Catholic church, is the Bishop of Rome. Each bishop within Roman Catholicism is not answerable to his fellow bishops collectively; each diocese is independent and only answerable directly to the pope.
A bishop can be ordained only by a minimum of two other bishops. Only a bishop may ordain a priest. A priest may celebrate the Divine Liturgy or Mass only with the blessing of a bishop; typically, an antimension signed by the bishop is kept on the altar partly as a reminder of whose altar it is and under whose omophorion the priest at a local parish is serving. In the sanctuary or altar area is typically a "bishop's throne" for the bishop. (The antimension is the rectangular piece of cloth, of linen or silk, with representations of the entombment of Christ, the four evangelists, and scriptural passages related to the eucharist. The antimension must be consecrated by the bishop of a church. No sacrament of the church is valid without one, as it indicates the authority of the bishop or literally "instead of the table". It often has a very small relic sewn into it. The omophorion is one of the bishop's vestments, made of a band of brocade worn about the neck and around the shoulders. It signifies the Good Shepherd by symbolizing the lost sheep that is found and thrown over the shoulders of the shepherd. The omophorion is a symbol of the spiritual authority of a bishop.)
Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox bishops claim to be part of a continuous sequence of ordained bishops since the days of the apostles, the apostolic succession. However, since a bull of Pope Leo XIII issued in 1896, the Roman Catholic church has insisted that Anglican orders are invalid, because of that church's changes in the ordination rites. The Roman Catholic church does however recognize as valid (though illegal) ordinations done by breakaway Roman Catholic bishops, and groups descended from them, so long as the people receiving the ordination conform to other canonical requirements; this gives rise to the phenomenon of episcopi vagantes. Catholics also recognize the validity of ordinations of bishops, priests, and deacons in the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches.
Bishops in other churches
Some other churches (such as Lutherans, Methodists and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)) also have bishops, but their roles differ significantly from the Catholic and Anglican ones.
In the United Methodist Church, bishops are administrative superintendents of the church; they are elected from among the clergy by vote of the clergy in regional conferences. United Methodist bishops serve for four year terms, and may serve up to three terms. John Wesley made Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury bishops for the United States of America in 1784, where Methodism first became a separate denomination apart from the Church of England. Methodists in Great Britain acquired their own bishops early in the nineteenth century, after the Methodist movement in Britain formally parted company with the Church of England.
Mormon bishops claim apostolic succession, although they define it somewhat differently; see Priesthood (Mormonism) and apostolic succession for details. Lutheran and Methodist bishops do not claim apostolic succession, except in the Church of Sweden and the Church of Finland.

A bishop is a piece in the strategy board game of chess. Each player begins the game with two bishops. One starts between the king's knight and the king, the other between the queen's knight and the queen. In algebraic notation the starting squares are c1 and f1 for white's bishops, and c8 and f8 for black's bishops.
The bishops may be differentiated according to which wing they begin on, i.e. the king's bishop and queen's bishop. As each bishop always remains on either the white or black squaues, it is also common to refer to them as the light-squared or dark-squared bishop.
The bishop has no restrictions in distance for each move, but is limited to diagonal movement, forward and backward. Bishops cannot jump over other pieces. As with most pieces, a bishop captures by occupying the square on which an enemy piece sits.
Because the bishop has access to only thirty-two squares of the board, it is rather weaker than the rook to which all sixty-four squares of the board are accessible. Furthermore, a rook on an empty board always attacks fourteen squares, whereas a bishop attacks only seven to thirteen depending on how near it is to the center. A rook is generally worth about two pawns more than a bishop.
Bishops are approximately equal in strength to knights. Bishops gain in relative strength towards the endgame as more and more pieces are traded, and lines open up on which they can operate. When the board is empty, a bishop can operate on both wings simultaneously, whereas a knight takes several moves to hop across. In an open endgame, a pair of bishops is decidedly superior to a bishop and a knight or two knights. A player possessing a pair of bishops has a strategic weapon in the form of a long-term threat to trade down to an advantageous endgame.
On the other hand, in the early going a bishop may be hemmed in by pawns of both players, and thus be inferior to a knight which can hop over obstacles. Furthermore, on a crowded board a knight has many opportunities to fork two enemy pieces. While it is technically possible for a bishop to fork, practical opportunities are rare.
A bishop which has trouble finding a good square for development in the center may be fianchettoed, for example pawn g2-g3 and bishop f1-g2. This forms a strong defense for the castled king on g1 and the bishop can often exert pressure on the long diagonal h1-a8. A fianchettoed bishop should not be given up lightly, because then the holes in the pawn formation around the king can easily prove disastrous.
A player with only one bishop should generally place his pawns on squares of the color that the bishop can't move to. This allows the player to control squares of both colors, allows the bishop to move freely among the pawns, and helps fix enemy pawns on squares on which they can be attacked. A bishop which is impeded by friendly pawns is sometimes disparagingly called a "tall pawn", or more simply, a "bad bishop".
Endgames where each side has only one bishop each on squares of opposite colors often result in draws, even if one side has one or two pawns more than the other. Each side tends to gain control of squares of opposite colors, and a deadlock results.
In endgames with same-colored bishops, even a minute advantage may be enough to win.

Episcopacy refers to the regime of church government by bishops (Lat. episcopus), a form common to Roman Catholic, Orthodox and many Protestant churches, but opposed by those Protestants such as Calvinists, mainly on the grounds that it could not be justified from scripture.Where episcopacy was the settled rule, or, for that matter, where it was not, doctrinal issues did not arise. It became an issue, however, in denominations where certain groups felt that the Reformation had not gone far enough, particularly in Anglicanism.
