CultureThere are bishops in the Anglican, Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Eastern Orthodox churches. They are in charge of the work of other priests in a diocese (= a city or district). On ceremonial occasions a bishop wears a tall pointed hat, called a mitre, and carries a long decorated stick, or staff. When talked about, a bishop has the title 'the Right Reverend' or, in the Roman Catholic Church, 'the Most Reverend'. A bishop is usually addressed as 'Your Grace'. In Britain some senior bishops are members of the House of Lords. In 1989, the first female bishop was appointed, in the Episcopal Church of the United States. In 2014, the Anglican church voted to allow women to become bishops.
