 Bishopric
The bishopric, consisting of the bishop and two counselors, is the presiding or governing council in a ward (congregation).
The bishopric selects other men to serve as ward executive secretary, ward clerk, and assistant clerks; they are likewise approved by the stake president and priesthood executive committee, sustained by the members of the ward, and set apart by the stake president or his representative.
The bishopric is responsible for calling and conducting all of the executive meetings of the ward, including a weekly bishopric meeting, a weekly priesthood executive committee meeting, and various meetings to plan and coordinate youth activities and train youth leaders.

Consequently, it is obviously Scriptural for certain Christian ministers to claim the status of a "bishop," or a ministry that is truly a "bishopric" if the nature and development of their ministry is truly similar in nature and development to that of Pastor J. Rowlands among the Asiatic people of Southern Africa.
Such ministry is genuinely "apostolic" and according to its use in the New Testament as a "bishopric," or the ministry of a "bishop." Apart from this sole and unique New Testament reference, we have very little New Testament grounds for making specific claims of possessing this specific ministry.
Since Luke's reference to the word "bishopric" is the only reference that we have, we have no interpretative right to use the term in reference to any other type of ministry.
