Bishop

From the Greek word episcopos, meaning overseer. A Bishop is a member of the highest of the orders of ministry in the Church. In many Anglican Churches, there are five kinds of Bishops - Archbishop, Diocesan, Assistant, Coadjutor, and Suffragan. No bishop is "higher" in rank than another. The five kinds merely define their function. Bishops are the only order allowed to wear purple shirts, and their crosses are usually gold, while priests’ crosses are usually silver.
