How would you greet a bishop?

[Not David]

Either a bishop, Patriarch, Pope, Ecumenical Patriarch. How would you greet that person? With a kiss, reverence?

I call my local Bishop 'Bish'. Thats true! Plus, i have had several words with him in the past.

Not a matter of disrespecting him though. Diocese has had quite a few issues with his 'management' shall we say.

Is the question about how properly to greet a bishop or how we here do it?

How would you greet a bishop?

The King's ♔ or the Queen's ♕...? ♗

 

[dzheremi]

In Arabic, we address him as "Sayedna" (سيدنا - Our Master); in English "Your Grace".

Not sure whether or not this answers your question...

Yes, it does. Do Coptics do reverence?

What?

It was a Chess reference. Don't mind me...

I would greet him like anyone else, they are not special. A better question is would I agree with one? Prolly not. I don't agree with denominations and there questionable traditions. Not trying to be harsh or contentious about it though.

So a handshake? A kiss?

 

[Albion]

For bishops, "My Lord." For presiding bishops or archbishops, "Your Grace." A handshake, ring-kissing, or nothing of that sort is a matter of personal preference and the particular church involved.

I might say hi.

A handshake is perfectly fine.

With a smack in the face. Just kidding.
I'd definitely inquire about all the child abuse allegations and cover ups though to the Pope.
