Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

extelecom: you right and wrong. First off, you didn't read the post, so "Duh!" on you. There is a great push among the Baptists denominations to have elders and try to resemble a biblical church. A bishop is an elder and an elder is an overseer. They are the same. The transliterated word from the Greek text is episkopos. The RCC plays words of art and you fell for it.

It's quite common among nondenominational groups, such as the Churches of Christ, to have the multiple elders/bishops that the Bible describes for each autonomous congregation.
