obispo de mayor rango en muchas denominaciones cristianas
En el cristianismo, un arzobispo es un obispo de mayor rango u oficio. En la mayoría de los casos, como en la Iglesia Católica, hay muchos arzobispos que tienen jurisdicción sobre una provincia eclesiástica además de su propia arquidiócesis, y algunos que ocupan sedes no metropolitanas o que de otro modo reciben un arzobispado titular. En otras, como la Iglesia Luterana de Suecia, el título es llevado por el líder de la denominación.
“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous...Likewise must the deacons be grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.”
“A priest is a man who is called Father by everyone except his own children, who are obliged to call him Uncle.”
“They seem to know no medium between a mitre and a crown of martyrdom. If the clergy are not called to the latter, they never deviate from the pursuit of the former. One would think their motto was, Canterbury or Smithfield.”
“I find on inquiring among successful pastors, successful in the sense of winning men to Christ in profession, that they depend largely on personal contact.”
“I do not envy a clergyman's life as an easy life, nor do I envy the clergyman who makes it an easy life.”
“He that would speak Divine things in a language which living men of to-day can comprehend, must keep up with the researches and discoveries of men who study nature, and put her words into the speech of the present.”
