Hi Guys, we will be entering into the root-word meaning of the term 'bishop,' and 'elder,' in this episode. We will explore both terms as they are somewhat interchangeable, but will also look at the functions of the role and responsibility of an elder or bishop from a spiritual, communal and structure based perspective.  Concluding that one's time and experience with a community, church or peoples is what goes into knowing such entities the most, but also how much one has served their community, church or peoples should qualify them to be an elder. Is our eldership or leadership team serving the people the most where we are based?
