“Episcopal” means “bishop” in Greek. The Episcopal Church is governed by our bishops. The basic unit of ministry in the Episcopal Church is the diocese, or a region of a reasonable number of Episcopalians. Each diocese is presided over by a diocesan bishop who may have help from other bishops serving in various supporting capacities. Good Shepherd is part of the diocese of Texas.
