	bishop - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about bishop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Originally, bishops were chosen by the congregation, but in the Roman Catholic Church they are appointed by the pope, although in some countries, such as Spain, the political authority nominates appointees.
		Bishops are responsible for meeting to settle matters of belief or discipline; they ordain priests and administer confirmation (as well as baptism in the Orthodox Church).
		In the Methodist and Lutheran churches the bishop's role is mostly that of a supervisory official.

	RIGHT OF THE LINE
		Artillery units were first organized as military establishments in 1671 by Louis XIV of France, who also initiated schools of instruction for his artillerists.
		The common field artillery weapon in Vietnam was the 105-mit, howitzer used in World War II and Korea; however, several carriages were used--a low profile lightweight carriage for airborne units, the standard carriage used during World War II and Korea for infantry divisions, and the improved self-propelled carriage for mechanized units.
		All through the evolution of the artillery, from catapult to missile, its purpose has remained the same: to be the most responsive maneuver element of a commander, and, thereby, to assist the other arms, especially the infantry, upon the field of battle.

		The 11th Field Artillery may have been just another artillery regiment among the vast numbers of American troops and weapons that comprised the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), but the unit distinguished itself by being given the honor of firing the closing shot on 11 November 1918, effectively ending the First World War.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
		At the request of Bishop von Eyb, of Eichstatt, he subjected the Theses to a closer study, singled out eighteen of them as concealing the germ of the Hussite heresy, violating Christian charity, subverting the order of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, and breeding sedition.
		The Bishops of Merseburg and Brandenburg issued their official inhibitions; the theological faculty of the leipzig University sent a letter of protest to Luther not to meddle in an affair that was purely Carlstadt's, and another to Duke George to prohibit it.
		It were better that all bishops should be murdered, and all religious foundations and monasteries razed to the ground, than that one soul should perish, not to speak of all the souls ruined by these blockheads and manikins" (Sammtl.

	Bishop (artillery) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bishop was a British self-propelled artillery vehicle based on the Valentine II chassis.
		At the same time the maximum elevation for the gun was limited, lowering the range considerably to about 6,400 yards (about half that of the gun on its wheeled carriage).
		Due to these factors, compounding the Valentine's characteristic slow speed and thin armor, the Bishop was poorly received almost universally and soon replaced by the M7 Priest and Sexton.
