How to Write a Bishops Name on a Plaque?
I am preparing a wooden ‘keepsake’ for a confirmand – and I am personalizing the piece with the child’s name, date of event and the name of the celebrant: Bishop John J McIntyre. Which is the more appropriate written form of address for this purpose (keepsake for a child): Bishop John J. MacIntosh or The Most Reverend John J. MacIntosh ~ D.M. Novak Dear D.M.N.: The formal form of written address is: The Most Reverend John J. MacIntosh The form to use in conversation — or in a letter’s salutation is: Bishop MacIntosh So on the keepsake use the formal written form of his name: The Most Reverend John J.
