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.

An area of land (usually county-sized) that is supervised by a bishop is called a diocese.

Any church within the same denomination and diocese is a 'diocesan church' in the sense that it belongs to that diocese. As an example, in an Anglican diocese, all Anglican churches are diocesan churches, but Methodist, Baptist, URC etc churches, even if they are within that diocese, are not.
What are the unique forms of religious geography created by the Roman Catholic Church?
The Roman Catholic Church has arranged every area of the world into administrative divisions, usually called dioceses (or archdiocese). There is a bishop or archbishop assigned to each; he is the shepherd for all the residents of his diocese. There is at least one Catholic mission or chapel or church in virtually every region of the world, and the bishop of the diocese in which each mission or church is situated is responsible for these.
What do diocese main?
