In Christianity, bishops are normally responsible for the governance of dioceses. The role or office of bishop is called episcopacy.

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.
