| Historic episcopate | The episcopate is the status of a bishop or the collective body of all bishops of a church. In the Roman Catholic, Anglican (including what in the USA is called the Episcopal Church), Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian/"Nestorian" churches, and in a few Protestant churches (but not in most), it is held that only a person in a line of succession of bishops dating back to the Apostles can be a Christian bishop, and only such a person can validly ordain Christian clergy. The succession must be transmitted from each bishop to a successor by the rite of Holy Orders. Bishops in such a succession compose the historic episcopate. This is also called the apostolic succession, but that term is also used in a variety of other ways. (references) | ||
