What IS a suffragan bishop? I googled "suffrgan bishop"; first link:
- In Anglicanism, a suffragan bishop is a full-time assistant bishop (as opposed to an assistant bishop which is usually an honorary post for retired bishops), or a bishop responsible to another bishop. In the Church of England, the Bishop of Warwick is 'suffragan' to the Bishop of Coventry, the 'diocesan' bishop, though both live in Coventry. A list of all such bishops can be found here
