He carries a crozier, or shepherd's staff, which is commonly made of wood. He wears an episcopal ring as a symbol of his office, and also wears a large pectoral cross on his chest, to remind him to keep the cross close to his heart.

How many of the Black race can become Bishops in the Mormon leadership?
All of them -
It is exactly as any other person - no distinction whatsoever.
As long as he holds the priesthood (like any other male), he can be a bishop, regardless of race. The Church keeps many statistics on language and geography, but it does not keep any statistics on race, so its not possible to say how many bishops currently serving are black. In Africa, there are many. A bishop presides over a congregation of approximately 200 people. There are more than 100,000 congregations in the world. Until 1978, blacks could not hold the priesthood; therefore, they could not serve as bishops or hold most other offices. Since then it has been unrestricted, race-wise. In 1978, the (then) prophet, President Kimball, received revelation that the long-awaited time had come that every worthy male member could hold the Priesthood, and serve in offices of leadership within that priesthood, including the bishopric. The highest ranking African American was Helvecio Martis of Brazil. He served in the Quorum of the Seventy.
In the most recent General Conference of the Church (Oct 2009), an African General Authority addressed the world exactly as all the other speakers of the Conference.
How did the council of bishops in Rome feel about Byzantine views of Christianity?
The Roman Catholics were strongly opposed to some of the practices of the Byzantine Church, and vice versa. This tension resulted in the Great Schism, in which the Western and Eastern Church split.
Did the apostles serve as the first bishops?
A:
No. The apostles did not serve as bishops, nor did they appoint bishops. It is clear from the New Testament that even St Paul did not appoint bishops and did not have the undisputed authority of a bishop in the communities to which he wrote.
THe Christian Church began to appoint bishops some time during the first half of the second century, long after the time of the apostles. Francis Aloysius Sullivan (From Apostles to Bishops: The Development of the Episcopacy in the Early Church) says that when 1 Clementwas written, in the 90s of the first century, the structure of leadership at Rome did not differ much from that at Corinth. That letter gives us good reason to conclude that there was no bishop in charge of the church of Corinth at the time. The terms used in the letter to describe the leaders of the Corinthian church hegoumenoi, episcopoi, presbuteroi, archontes are all in the plural. The term most frequently used is presbuteroi; Clement calls on those guilty of the schism to "submit to the presbyters," and to allow the "flock of Christ to be at peace with its duly appointed presbyters." It seems inconceivable that, if there had been a bishop in charge of the church of Corinth at that time, Clement would not have said something about the obligation of the guilty parties to submit to their bishop or about his role in restoring good order to his church. On this evidence, neither Corinth nor Rome appears to have yet had a bishop appointed by the end of the first century, and it is equally unlikely that that any other Christian centre had.
