Hello all.
Upon visiting our local Episcopal cathedral today I noticed the presiding celebrant was listed as ‘Priest-in-Charge’ in their service bulletin.
Not being very familiar with Anglican ministerial terminology I researched it myself but would appreciate any feedback for clarity.
Is this a title signifying an interim position appointed by the bishop rather than the congregation itself?
When and why is this title used within Anglicanism?
Thanks in advance;
