| | |  Metropolitan bishop: Encyclopedia II - Bishop - Bishops and civil governmentThe efficient infrastructure of the Roman Empire became the template for the organization of the church in the fourth century, particularly after the Edict of Milan. As the church moved from the shadows of privacy into the public forum it acquired land for churches, burials and clergy.

| | | | Metropolitan bishop: Encyclopedia II - Primate religion - Roman Catholic Church In the Western Church, a Primate is an archbishop (or rarely a suffragan or exempt bishop) of a see (called a primas) which confers precedence over the other bishops of his own province, or over a number of provinces (possibly part of a province), such as a 'national' church in (historical) political/cultural terms. This precedence gives no additional authority over these other bishops, such as that exercised by a Metropolitan bishop.
The term is generally found in the older Catholic countries, and is now purely honorific, enjo ...

| | | | Metropolitan bishop: Encyclopedia II - Primate religion - Anglican Communion The title is often encountered in the churches of the Anglican Communion, which is divided into provinces each of which usually has a metropolitan. The senior metropolitan in the national church is called the primate, though this title was only in recent years added by the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.

| | | | Metropolitan bishop: Encyclopedia II - Bishop - Bishops in the Apostolic Fathers At the turn of the first century AD, the church started to acquire a clear organisation.
