Answer
A diocese is the administrative unit of a church that is overseen by a bishop. The term is derived from the Greek word "dioikesis," meaning "administration" or "jurisdiction." A diocese typically consists of multiple parishes, which are smaller administrative units led by a priest or pastor. The bishop serves as the spiritual leader and chief administrator of the diocese.
