The Bishop of Lichfield is my bishop, as I live in that diocese. I have never actually met this particular prelate, but did encounter one of his distinguished predecessors. Like the wording at the beginning!
The Holy bible that was just held up, at 1 Peter 5:3 states " Neither as being LORDS over God,s heritage but being examples to the flock". Paul aslo said that "Men will arise, from amoung you (the bishops) yourselves " ( Acts 20:30 ) Also Peter was chosen to be one of Jesus's principle apostles, he was just a workingclass fisherman "Unlettered and ordinary" yet this 'Bishop Michael' had to obtain a university degree in Theology to qualify to become a 'bishop'! ( Paul did not include special education skills when he outlined the qualifications for 'bishops' at 1 Tim 3: 1-7 ). How can we equate the humble men who served as 'bishops' ( there were several in each early congregation bye the way!) with the 'bishops' today in both the anglican & catholic churches who wear special robes, sit on a 'throne' have a ring that is kissed, live in a 'palace' have servants and have great authority over a whole 'dioceease' ( a Roman province originally!). This is not the was Jesus Christ wanted his followers to act! Sadly it was fortold!
@@JohnParks-zc1pn A good question! There was, as in now a difference between a basic education of reading, writing, e.t.c & 'higher education. In Jesus day as mentioned by both Philo of Alexander (20BC) & Josephus (37AD) Jewish youths were given thorough education of basics especially God's Law (Deut 6:7. However the pharisees & sadducees attended 'RABINICAL SCHOOLS' where they were taught the tradition of the talmud e.t.c. It was with this in mind that the religious leaders taunted Peter & John, that they were 'unlettered && ordinary' which basically wasnt true! So we can conclude that Peter COULD read & write, but he didnt need 'special education' in the manmade traditions of men. ( Its very similar today! A person cannot become a priest, bishop, cardinal, pope, arch bishop in either the catholic or anglican church without a degree in 'theology' obtained from a university or special college.) Surely this is the reason for the prevalence of unbiblical philosophy and atheistic reasoning found in the teachings within these churches today!) Paul warned of such...Col 2:8!
unlikely to happen, but the papal seat itself is not limited by education and/or degree. the cardinals assembled in conclave may elect any male unmarried catholic 35years old and older and would consecrate him bishop ASAP
@@rivenoak Thanks for the correction! I suppose I know more of the protestant church in which higher education is esential for a position of leadership! However, you must agree that in the UK at least All seminarians (men studying for the Catholic priesthood) are required to complete an undergraduate degree in Philosophy. How does that compare to the apostle Peter's background?
@@kiwihans100 Depends which Protestant church. There have been a lot of Pentecostal leaders who were "ordained by the Spirit" despite minimal formal education.
@@afghanskull7782 it is complicated.... some are peers by default and the other bishops will take seats in exchange en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lords_Spiritual

If Peter was "unlettered" (illiterate) how did he write his Epistles?
