How to use "Bishopric" in context?
A bishopric is an ecclesiastical office, usually a bishopric in the Christian church. The word derives from the Greek βήμαÃÂÇο (bishop). In Roman Catholicism, the term episcopal see is also used, to distinguish it from the terms metropolitan see, ecclesiastical province, or deanery. In Eastern Orthodoxy, the term exarchate is used for a bishopric that has been transferred from within the Russian Orthodox Church to another Orthodox Autonomous Church. In the Oriental Orthodox Churches, the equivalent term is nemesion.
