Bishops who ordain but do not rule.
The Moravian episcopate descends from the pre-Reformation Unity and was recognised by the Church of England in 1749, but a Moravian bishop has no diocese and no governing authority: synods govern, and a bishop's work is ordination and pastoral care. The office has been open to women since 1998.
