- Abstract: The House of Bishops is made up of all actively serving bishops and those who have resigned their jurisdictions. Eligible members include all diocesan and assisting bishops elected or canonically appointed from the dioceses, area missions, and special jurisdictions of the United States and nineteen other countries, including a number of churches in Europe, Latin America, Taiwan, and Haiti. The House of Bishops meets in special or “interim” sessions between meetings of the General Convention and, acting in their pastoral and teaching mode, may explore issues of theological, social or mission concern. The House may not take any binding action, however, without the approval of the General Convention. The Secretary is elected by the House to keep the records of the House though there is no canonical provision for this office. The Rt. Rev. Scott Field Bailey was the twenty-fourth Secretary to hold the office since its inception in 1789. He held the office from 1967 to 1986.
