Ordinary (officer)
An ordinary (from Latin ''ordinarius'') is an officer of a church or civic authority who by reason of office has ordinary power to execute laws. Such officers are found in hierarchically organised churches of Western Christianity which have an ecclesiastical legal system.See, e.g.c. 134 § 1 ''Code of Canon Law'', 1983 For example, diocesan bishops are ordinaries in the Catholic Church and the Church of England. In Eastern Christianity, a corresponding officer is called a hierarch (from Greek ''hierarkhēs'' "president of sacred rites, high-priest" which comes in turn from τὰ ἱερά ''ta hiera'', "the sacred rites" and ἄρχω ''arkhō'', "I rule").

Bishop Of Hong Kong And Macao
The Diocese of Hong Kong and Macao was an extra-provincial diocese in the Anglican Communion serving Hong Kong and Macau. It existed from 1951 until 1998, when it was reorganized as an autonomous Anglican church, the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. History The diocese was a remnant of the older Anglican Diocese of Victoria, part of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui, China's autonomous Anglican church. The Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui was effectively abolished in 1949 during the Chinese Revolution due to the formation of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement. Anglicans in Hong Kong and Macau reorganized the diocese, which was essentially extra-provincial under the Archbishop of Canterbury. The diocese was abolished in 1998 upon the formation of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui as a province of the Anglican Communion in its own right. It was split into four new dioceses: three in Hong Kong and a missionary area covering Macao. Bishops * Ronald Hall ** Andrew Tsu Andrew Yu-Yue Tsu ( zh, t=朱友漁, s ...
