you and the MPA are really funny. here is a guy who worked at Bain whatever amount of time that took, plus then called as a Bishop he worked free of charge as a church leader, counnselor, tended to the welfare of his flock, and gave of his time so that others might move forward in their lives.
There is nothing secret about what a Bishop does, look it up on line.
First, the bishop is the presiding high priest and father of the ward. “As such, (the bishop) presides at sacrament meeting, priesthood meeting, ward council meetings, and at all other ward services and activities,” said President Monson. “By these and other means, he watches over both the spiritual and temporal affairs of the ward. He is also responsible for the doctrine which is taught in the ward.”
President Monson said a bishop must know his people, their names, circumstances, challenges, goals and abilities. “A wise bishop knows the names of the children in the ward as well, and he remembers them on their birthdays. He also is mindful of the widow and those who, for whatever reason, are not found as regular attenders in the meetings.”
Second, the bishop has responsibility for the Aaronic Priesthood. The bishop’s duty “is to see that every boy is ordained a deacon at the right age, as well as a teacher, a priest and an elder,” President Monson said. He added, “The two words, labor and love, will work wonders in achieving this objective. For those who are behind schedule, I leave the challenge, ‘Reach out to rescue.’
“Appoint as advisers to the Aaronic Priesthood quorums brethren who can relate to these young men — who can give them encouragement in the performance of their responsibilities and prepare them to serve at the sacrament table, as home teachers, in the case of teachers and priests, and to qualify for missions.”
Next of the bishop’s responsibilities is that of caring for the needy. President Monson quoted President J. Reuben Clark Jr., a long-time member of the First Presidency, who said: “To the bishop is given all the powers, and responsibilities which the Lord has specifically prescribed in the Doctrine and Covenants for the caring of the poor. . . . No one else is charged with this duty and responsibility, no one else is endowed with the power and functions necessary for this work. . . . It is (the bishop’s) duty and his only to determine to whom, when, how, and how much shall be given to any member of his ward from Church funds and as ward help.”
Next, the bishop is responsible for finances. The bishop, President Monson said, receives tithes and offerings, supervises the unit budget and expenditures and makes certain that records are properly and appropriately kept. “The bishop is the one who must determine how Church commodities and funds are used to provide for the temporal needs of the members.”
“nothing secret”, now that’s funny.
Good answer but I would like someone to ask and document Romney’s answers to theses questions.
Troll alert. bribery.
Nothing funny about the MPA. Fire a mormon and they have a meeting at their church and vote to boycott your business. Give a mormon a less than stellar evaluation and you receive a phone call from a higher-ranking mormon telling you to change the evaluation. Thank-you for bringing up the MPA and then writing about mormon bishops. It’s hard to stick to the issue when all you’re doing is spitting out propaganda. It’s a business, not a religion.

But what about the girls ???
Obama will eat him alive...
This is an apparent diversion, to steer people from looking at the real insidious title Mitt and other Mormon males hold and the oaths they swear to be in that function, that of High Priest in the Melchizadek priesthood. Momronism is a religion fashioned along lines of the spirit of anti-Christ, and Mitt Romney is a hgigh priest in that religion.
Sorry...no sale...the Mormon church, when it put out its handbook for bishoprics, didn't willingly put those out for general distribution...one of the copies, it still doesn't...
ALL: See Handbook (LDS Church)
There's plenty in the handbook that's "secret...secret"...
(I'll post some of that later)
