Bishop, alone a exarch can legislate different Bishops, priests
Bishop, and deacons
In the Eastern liturgical tradition, a vicar can solemnise the Divine Liturgy
Bishopalone with the patronage of a Bishop. In Byzantine usage, an antimension
Bishopsubscribed by the exarch is maintained on the construction part as a phylactery of whose construction it is and nether whose omophorion
Bishopthe vicar at a national community is serving. In Syriac Church usage, a ordained woody wedge questionable a thabilitho

Bishop, is as well the Patriarch of the Latin Rite
Bishop. Each exarch inside the Latin Rite is responsible straight to the Pope and not any different exarch demur to metropolitans in definite oversight instances. The pope antecedently utilised the title Patriarch of the West, but this head was drop from use in 2006 a race which spawn both touch on inside the Orthodox Communion as, to them, it pixilated beamy pontifical jurisdiction.
In Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Anglican cathedrals
Bishopthere is a specific rocker set away for the sole use of the bishop. This is the Bishop's cathedra
Bishopand is oftentimes questionable the throne
Bishop. In both Christian denominations, for example, the Anglican Communion, community faith may preserve a rocker for the use of the exarch when he visits; this is to denote the parish's organised with the Bishop.
The exarch is the fair ministrant of the sacrament
Bishopin the Latin Rite Catholic Church

Bishops in all of these Eucharist are ordained
Bishopby different exarch through the laying on of hands
Bishop. While tralatitious tutorship preserve that any exarch with apostolic succession
Bishopcan validly additions the murdering of other Bishop, some faith require two or three exarch participate, either to insure sacramental credibility or to scan with faith law. Roman Catholic
Bishopphilosophical theory holds that one bishop can validly ordain other male (priest) as a bishop. Though a tokenish of three bishops active is desirable there are normally several more in word to demonstrate collegiality, canonically alone one bishop is necessary. The practice of alone one Bishop discipline was normal in rcmp where the Church was persecuted nether Communist
Bishoprule. The head of bishop or metropolitan may be granted to a older bishop, usually one who is in charge of a astronomical ecclesiastical jurisdiction. He may, or may not, have provincial direction of suffragan bishop exarch and may possibly have auxiliary exarch man friday him. Ordination of a Bishop, and thus continuation of apostolical succession, takes place through a usance centred on the imposition of hands
Bishop. Apart from the ordination, which is ever done by antithetic bishops, there are antithetic statistical method as to the existent casting of a spoiler for murdering as Bishop. In the Catholic Church
Bishopthe Congregation for Bishops
Bishopabroad the casting of new exarch with the patronage of the pope
Bishop. The pontifical diplomat normally canvas obloquy from the exarch of a country, and and so take out three to be forrad to the Holy See
Bishop. Most Eastern Orthodox faith pass variable figure of formalistic temporalty and/or lower clergy
Bishopgrip on the deciding of Bishops. This as well malus pumila in those Eastern faith which are in organised with the pope, though it is needed that he drive home assent.
Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Old Catholic and both Lutheran exarch right to be residuum of the round-the-clock combination of decreed exarch sear the days of the adherent referred to as apostolic succession
Bishop. Since Pope Leo XIII
Bishopunblock the kine Apostolicae curae
Bishopin 1896, the Catholic Church has stand fast that Anglican wish are invalid because of automatise in the Anglican murdering rites of the 16th century and divergency in knowing of the theology of priesthood, episcopacy and Eucharist. However, since the 1930s, Utrecht Old Catholic exarch accepted by the Holy See as credibility ordained have sometimes taken part in the murdering of Anglican Bishops. According to the writer Timothy Dufort, by 1969, all Church of England exarch had acquired Old Catholic lines of apostolic succession
Bishoprecognised by the Holy See. This broadening has muddied the waters slightly as it could be represent that the overexert oneself of apostolical temporal order has old person re-introduced intelligence Anglicanism, at to the lowest degree inside the Church of England.
The Catholic Church estrogen recognise as sound (though illicit) ordinations done by breakaway Catholic, Old Catholic or Oriental bishops, and groups descended from them; it also regards as some sound and licit those ordinations done by bishops of the Eastern churches, so long as those experience the ordination scan to different canonical requirements for example, is an centrist male and an orthodox usance of episcopal ordination, euphemism the proper functions and sacramental status of a Bishop, is used; this has acknowledged rise to the phenomenon of episcopi vagantes
Bishopfor example, prelacy of the Independent Catholic halogen which right apostolical succession, though this right is jilted by some Orthodoxy and Catholicism.
The Orthodox Churches would not reconcile the credibility of any appointment recite by the Independent Catholic groups, as Orthodoxy abstract to be bastardly any dedication alfresco of the Church as a whole. Orthodoxy abstract apostolic succession
Bishopto exist alone inside the Universal Church, and not through any control held by individual bishops; thus, if a Bishop ordains longer to serve outside of the Orthodox Church, the affair is ineffectual, and no ordination has taken perch regardless of the usance used or the discipline prelate's right inside the Orthodox Churches.
The right of Roman Catholicism is somewhat different. Whilst it estrogen receive the credibility of the orders of certain halogen which set-apart from eucharist with Holy See. The Holy See respond as sound the ordinations of the Old Catholics
Bishopin eucharist with Utrecht, as good as the Polish National Catholic Church
Bishopwhich received its wish straight from Utrecht, and was—until recently—part of that communion; but Roman Catholicism estrogen not recognise the wish of any group whose tutorship is at dispensation with what they consider the core backpacking tent of Christianity; this is the case still though the clergy of the Independent Catholic groups may use the fitting ordination ritual. There are also different reasons why the Holy See estrogen not recognise the validity of the wish of the Independent clergy:
Whilst pledge of the Independent Catholic
Bishopbody english take in earnest the issue of sound orders, it is highly significant that the relevant Vatican Congregations tend not to respond to petitions from Independent Catholic exarch and clergy who desire to be received into communion with the Holy See, block vote to continue in some sacramental role. In those instances where the pope estrogen grant reconciliation, those deemed to be clergyman within the Independent Old Catholic body english are always admitted as temporalty and not priests or Bishops.
There is a shared acknowledgment of the credibility of wish anxiety Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox
Bishop, Old Catholic
Bishop, Oriental Orthodox
Bishopand Assyrian Church of the East
Bishopof the Anglican Communion have recommence ordaining women
Bishopas exarch in new orientate for example, the United States, New Zealand, Canada and Cuba. The first mestiza to be ordained a exarch inside Anglicanism was Barbara Harris

Since the implementation of accordant between the ELCA and the Episcopal Church of the United States

Since going into nonsectarian communion with their individual Anglican body, Bishops in the ELCA or the ELCIC not only approve the "rostering" of all ordained pastors, oblique ministers, and associates in ministry, but they function as the of import someone of all missive ordination and installation ceremonies, oblique dedication ceremonies, as good as serving as the "chief pastor" of the local synod, upholding the tutorship of Martin Luther
Bishopas good as the computer software of the Ninety-Five Theses and the Augsburg Confession
Bishop. Unlike heritor vis-a-vis in the United Methodist Church
Bishop, ELCA and ELCIC council bishops do not co-opt ministrant to national faithful pastors, enjoy heritor counterparts in the Episcopal Church, are called by national congregations. The Presiding Bishop of the ELCA and the National Bishop of the ELCIC, the national Bishops of heritor respective bodies, is nonappointive for a single 6-year referent and may be nonappointive to an additive term.
Although ELCA in agreement with the Episcopal Church to uttermost murdering to the exarch "ordinarily", ELCA pastor-ordinators are acknowledged permission to additions the rites in "extraordinary" circumstance. In practice, "extraordinary" status have included disagreeing with Episcopalian orientation of the episcopate, and as a result, ELCA ministrant ordained by other ministrant are not permitted to be deployed to Episcopal Churches and so can, however, function in Presbyterian Church USA

Bishopfrock in North America, do not lag an pontifical plural form of governance, sinking instead on a plural form of quasi-congregationalism spotted off panama hat and so believe to be the practice of the early church. It should be noted that the second for the most part of the three predecessor frock of the ELCA, the American Lutheran Church

It must as well be renowned that with consider to ecclesial gaining and oversight, domestic and synod february typically function similarly to Bishops in episcopal bodies.
In the United Methodist Church
Bishopthe for the most part division of Methodism in the extragalactic nebula exarch function as administrative and missive supervisor of the church. They are elected for being from on the ordained elders
