Bishop's chaplain


In contrast to a usual chaplain, a bishop's chaplain or archbishop's chaplain is chaplain to a bishop only. The office exists in the Anglican churches and the Roman Catholic Church.
A bishop's chaplain also acts as his or her private secretary, attends and assists the bishop at all services where the bishop wears his or her mitre and carries his or her crozier, acts as proxy on some bodies and generally ministers to and prays for him or her.
