In Christianity, an archbishop is an elevated bishop, responsible for all churches belonging to a religious group of a particular district.
The diocese of which an archbishop is head is called a metropolitan see; the archbishop himself may be called a metropolitan.
Typically the metropolitan see is the largest city in a region composed of several dioceses, and the man appointed as archbishop has usually served as bishop of a smaller diocese previously.
