Horepiscopul is a rare office of clergy in the Church. The name is taken from the Greek Χωρεπίσκοπος, meaning "country bishop." It is still present in the Church of Romania.Format:Cite
History
Chorepiscopi are first mentioned by the ecclesiastical historian Eusebius in the second century.[1] In the days of the very Early Church, chorepiscopi seemed to have authority in rural districts, but in the second half of the third century they were subject to the urban episcopate, or metropolitans. The Synod of Ancyra (314) forbade them to ordain deacons and priests.
The Council of Sardica in 343 decreed that chorepiscopi should not be consecrated where a priest would suffice,[2] and gradually their numbers declined. In some dioceses, the title chorbishop is sometimes used as an alternative title for an auxiliary bishop. However, it should be noted that the functions of an auxiliary usually differ from this specific office.
The modern Arabic word for a priest, khoury, is etymologically taken from the Greek chorepiscopos.
