Whats an arch bishop?
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.

Which supermarkets owned by Mormons in California?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly known as Mormons) does not own any supermarkets anywhere. They do operate "Bishop Storehouses", which are similar to supermarkets, but their services are only available to those in need of financial assistance (of any religion). Most of the supplies available in Bishop Storehouses is produced by the church. The food and supplies are given to customers for free, but the Bishop in the local area must sign a 'shopping list' before they can visit the storehouse to obtain the groceries. If you would like more information on Bishop Storehouses, volunteering at one or receiving assistance from one, contact the Bishop or congregation leader in your local area.
