An archbishop is a senior bishop in certain branches of the Christian church, responsible for overseeing a group of dioceses, which are regions under the care of bishops. The title is often associated with the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and some Anglican churches. Archbishops play a key role in church governance and may also participate in important ceremonies and decisions. In addition to their spiritual duties, archbishops often represent their church in public and interfaith matters. They may also be involved in social issues, providing guidance and support to their communities. The position of an archbishop is typically seen as a step above that of a regular bishop, reflecting greater authority and responsibility within the church hierarchy.
