In the Catholic and Anglican churches a bishop is a member of the clergy that has the responsibility of an area, roughly county-sized - called a diocese. For example, in the Church of England there are many dioceses such as the diocese of Salisbury, the diocese of Durham and so on. In the Catholic Church the dioceses do not correspond directly with the Church of England dioceses and are usually larger. Dioceses are then grouped together into a province. In the Church of England there are two provinces, York in the north and Canterbury in the south. The bishop who has been given the responsibility of a province - in other words, the 'chief' bishop, overseeing the work of the bishops in his province, is called an archbishop.
