Definition
A bishop who shares ecclesiastical authority with another bishop in the same diocese or region.
Etymology
Compound of 'co-' (together) and 'bishop.' In church history, cobishops sometimes served together due to large territories, illness, or succession disputes.
Kelly Says
Early Christian churches sometimes had cobishops to handle theological disputes—two bishops could debate doctrine more legitimately than one having absolute power, creating an early system of checks and balances!
