Understanding the Bishopric: A Guide to the Office and Jurisdiction of Bishops
Bishopric refers to the office or jurisdiction of a bishop, which is a high-ranking member of the clergy in many Christian denominations. The term can also refer to the territory or diocese over which a bishop has authority and responsibility for guiding and governing the spiritual and temporal affairs of the church. In this sense, the bishopric is the collective body of bishops who serve within a particular geographic area or denomination.
