Answer:

Bishop in Greek stands for Overseer

Explanation:

The word Bishop is<em> episkopos</em> in Greek and it means, overseer. The office of the Bishop in Christianity serves the purpose of teaching the laity, leading them, and shepherding the Church of God. The Catholics, Orthodox, and Anglican believers hold that the office of the Bishop or whoever they deem fit to be ordained as a Bishop has a lineage or ancestry that can be traced to any of the twelve apostles.

The Protestant churches however, simply believe that whoever they ordain as a Bishop has attained a scope of spiritual maturity that qualifies him as such.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is a.

Explanation:

The Pike Expedition (1806-1817) was a military expedition sent by the United States government to explore the recently acquired territory of Louisiana.

In 1803, French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte sold the territory of Louisiana to the United States. This territory was largely unexplored and populated mostly by indigenous tribes. Then president Thomas Jefferson authorized an expedition in 1806 to explore the south and west of the territory, close to the northern border of what was then New Spain (later Mexico). Lt. Zebulon Pike departed with 70 other men on his way to explore the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains. However, he drifted south, and ended in Spanish territory, where he was captured. He was released shortly after and returned to the United States.

<u>In 1810, Pike wrote a book recounting from his memory his expeditionary exploits.</u> The book was immensely popular - it was later translated into French, German and Dutch.
