Bishops' Conferences Catholicism Denominations Christianity
The 1983 Code of Canon Law defines bishops' conferences thus: "The Episcopal Conference, a permanent institution, is the assembly of the Bishops of a country or of a certain territory, exercising together certain pastoral offices for Christ's faithful of that territory." A bishops' conference, therefore, is something of an intermediate step between an individual diocese and the Vatican.
