In 67 years I have not met a humble bishop. They should teach by example. For instance, the enormous money that was spent on all the pomp and circumstance involved in electing a new archbishop. (We got a letter from the archbishop asking for an end of year donation!) I have trouble tithing when the upper crust spends it so frivolously.
Remember Matthew 23:5 “They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats at synagogues
and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men.” The words of Jesus 2000 years ago are still applicable today.
