Episcopal congregations are lead by a Bishop-Congregant, a rotating office with a one year term elected by their fellow bishops. In addition to authority over liturgy, the Bishop-Congregant has the formal task of submitting his nominations for bishops to the Congress of Bishops, though this action is merely a formality on both ends; the Congress of Bishops almost always approves any nominee, and the nominations themselves are forwarded along by nominating committees within the episcopal congregations; these committees receive and consider petitions from metropolitan churches and even groups of lay persons. | Episcopal congregations are lead by a Bishop-Congregant, a rotating office with a one year term elected by their fellow bishops.
