Teaching Bishop

[eekiee]

Hello! Just want to ask if it’s possible for a bishop to still teach? One of the best professors in my university was recently proclaimed as bishop of a nearby suffragan diocese. The whole university is delighted, of course, but some can’t help but feel sad because we consider him as one of our ‘legendary professors’

Thanks!

I would think that it’s not prohibited, but that the schedule and duties of a bishop would make it very hard for him to keep up a regular teaching job.
