Here's answer to week's question
(From page 2)
The word bishop comes from the Greek word episkopos, meaning "overseer." A bishop is the pastor or shepherd and is charged with the care of his flock. In the apostolic period, Paul wrote to the bishops in Philippi (Phil. 1:1), and other letters speak of the bishop's duties and of his sacred role in caring for the Church of God. (1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 1:7-9).
