I don't know what bishops do in other religions. But Bishops in the Mormon church are more like Pastors of evangelical Christians. One differences is a Mormon Bishop is over a geographical area and if that is the area you live in that's where you're supposed to go. Bishops are married and preside over a congregation of -3-4- hundred. They are unpaid. I've never seen or heard politics from the pulpit of a Mormon mtg and I'm 62
So that French Chateau Mittens did his missionary position in ..he had to pay for himself?
Curious...how many wine drinkin frogs did he turn into tea totalin Mormans?
Tithing from the church helps pay for Missionary work. The Missionaries have very little and live on a strict budget. There bikes and if they are lucky a car are provided by the local or international group housing them as is their housing. They have little to no money and are on a strict regimen while on a Mission.
By the way? All young adults in the church are encouraged to go on missions. It is expected you will do so. Not all missionaries go over seas, every Stake in the States has Missionaries.
I've seen em. They can be quite annoying and persistant. I had a friend they glommed onto a couple of years ago. It was a pretty weird scene.
