The Greek word for Bishop is “ episkopos” which means overseer or protector. Jesus Christ is called the “Bishop of your souls” IPeter 2:25. He is indeed our protector and Savior.

The term “Bishop” is also used of the elders, pastors and deacons of the N.T. local Churches. Acts 20:28; Phil 1:1; ITimothy 3: 2; Titus 1:7

     This title is very appropriate for the people of God especially who are called for the ministry to feed the Church of God and protect it from all evils.
