The Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is the chief ecumenical officer of the church, and the leader and caretaker for the bishops of the synods. The presiding bishop chairs the biennial Church-wide Assembly and provides for the preparation of agendas for the assembly, the Church Council and its executive committee, the Conference of Bishops, and the Cabinet of Executives. The Presiding Bishop of the ELCA is elected to a six-year term, available for re-election and is charged with initiating policy, developing strategy and overseeing administration of the entire church. The presiding bishop also serves as a figurehead and speaks on behalf of the entire church.
The ELCA's third Presiding Bishop, Mark Hanson, served two six-year terms from 2001 to 2013. Elizabeth Eaton was elected as the fourth (and first female) presiding bishop in August 2013.
Upon the Presiding Bishop's recommendation, the First Presidency calls two other men to assist the Presiding Bishop as his counselors; together these three compose the church's Presiding Bishopric. As well as being ordained to the Aaronic priesthood office of bishop, the members of the Presiding Bishopric are general authorities of the church. Like all other functioning bishops in the church they are ordained high priests in the Melchizedek priesthood. The Presiding Bishopric forms the governing body of the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is the legal entity owning many of the church's assets and holdings in some countries around the world.
Duties
The primary duties of the Presiding Bishopric is to oversee the temporal affairs (buildings, properties, commercial corporations, etc.) of the church and to oversee the bishoprics of congregations throughout the world. Along with the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Presiding Bishopric is a part of the Council on the Disposition of the Tithes, a group that oversees and authorizes the expenditure of all tithing funds. The Presiding Bishopric is also responsible for overseeing the church's Aaronic priesthood, although most of the work in this area is delegated to the Young Men general presidency.
Next Time: Episcopal Church’s First African-American Presiding Bishop
The Episcopal Church’s first African-American presiding bishop is Michael Curry. He says reconciliation will be a top priority in his new role.

Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints v. Amos
| 483 U.S. 327 (1987)
Can the government accommodate religious exercise by exempting religious institutions from certain regulations? Or does accommodating religion with an exemption create an Establishment Clause violation? The Supreme Court confronts the tension between protecting religious exercise and avoiding government sponsorship of religion in Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints versus Amos.
Arthur Mayson worked as a building engineer for the Deseret Gymnasium, a nonprofit fitness facility operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After sixteen years, he was fired for failing to adhere to the standards required for worship in its temples. Mayson and others brought a class-action suit against the church based on Title Seven of the Civil Rights Act of Nineteen Sixty-Four, which prohibits discrimination in employment based on religion. The church moved to dismiss the claim, relying on an exemption. Section Seven Oh Two enables religious employers to make employment decisions on the basis of religion. The exemption, which originally extended to the employer’s religious activities, was later amended to cover the employer’s secular activities as well.
The district court determined that Mayson’s work at the gym involved secular activities. Further, the district court held that applying the exemption to a religious organization’s secular nonprofit activities would violate the Establishment Clause. The district court granted judgment for Mayson, and the church appealed to the Supreme Court.

STORYLINE:
The first woman presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori took office on Saturday in a ceremony in Washington, DC.
This is a first not only for her denomination but also for the global Anglican Communion, which has never before had a female priest leading one of its provinces.
In a ceremony at the Washington National Cathedral, filled by more than 3,000 well-wishers, Jefferts Schori took leadership of the US church as the Anglican rift over the Bible and sexuality threatens to erupt into schism.
Fifty-two-year-old Schori was bishop of Nevada when she was the surprise winner of the election for presiding bishop at the Episcopal General Convention in June.
She took the primatial staff, the symbol of her authority, from outgoing Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold.
She will now represent the American denomination to the many Anglican leaders angered by the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay Episcopal bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
Her job is further complicated by her personal support for Robinson's election.
She believes the church should ordain gays and bless same-sex couples, though she insists she won't impose her views on others.
That may not be enough appease other branches of the Anglican family, which take a traditional view that gay relationships are prohibited by Scripture.
It now falls to Jefferts Schori to try and reconcile the Episcopal Church with its critics.
Some Anglican leaders also reject the idea of women's ordination.
Seven US conservative dioceses have already rejected her authority and have asked Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, to assign them another national leader.
Three of the dioceses do not support ordaining women.
