  1. The office of a bishop.
  2. A form of church government by bishops.
  3. An office of overseeing or supervising.

Examples:

  • When a bishop is appointed to lead a diocese, they assume the episcopacy of that region.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
