An archbishop is a high-ranking bishop in the Christian Church, typically the head of a diocese or archdiocese. Archbishops are usually addressed as “Your Grace” or “The Most Reverend [Archbishop’s last name]”.
The title “archbishop” is derived from the Greek words “archi-” (chief) and “bishops” (overseer). Archbishops are responsible for overseeing a large geographic area, which may include several dioceses. They are also responsible for ordaining new priests and deacons, and for confirming new members of the Church.
