*In The Episcopal Church, a chancellor is appointed by the bishop. The chancellor acts as the legal advisor to the bishop, providing guidance on canonical and civil legal matters. This role helps maintain the integrity and legal standing of the diocese as a whole (Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs & Practices, p. 243).
