‘Bishop’ comes from the Greek word for ‘overseer’. So a bishop is a senior Christian minister authorised to have oversight for God’s people. As well as duties given to deacons and priests, bishops confirm and ordain.
‘Diocese’ refers to the geographical territory in which a bishop exercises oversight. The Church in Wales is divided into six dioceses each with its own cathedral in which is housed the cathedra (the bishop’s ‘chair’ or ‘throne’).
A partnership between the Diocese of Llandaff and Church Army.
The Venerable Rod Green, Archdeacon of Llandaff, has been appointed as the next Bishop of Stepney in the Diocese of London.
There will be opportunity to say thank you and goodbye to Archdeacon Rod during Choral Evensong in Llandaff Cathedral on Sunday, 26th April at 4pm.
