Youhave to be at least age 25 to be a priest so it wouldtake some time afetr that. One of the youngest US bishops was around age 40.
AnswerThere is no real minimum age as determined by Church law. However, as the above answer suggests by the time a person leaves school, completes his theological diploma or degree, serves his diaconate year and is priested, realistically he will be around 23-25.Usually at least 10 years' ministry in various locations is necessary before being chosen for the episcopate.
In the Anglican Church, one of the youngest bishops ever was in his 30s. But this is an exception. Usually bishops are first consecrated in their late 40s or 50s, and are appointed as suffragens (assistant bishops) before becoming a diocesan bishop.
