The Bishop shall have the authority to designate a Parish Church as the "Diocesan Cathedral Church", but only with the consent of the Parish so designated, and of the Convention.
The Cathedral shall be at the disposal of the Bishop for all Diocesan and missionary purposes of his or her appointment therein; and for such preaching, administering of the Sacraments, or other spiritual offices as the Bishop may desire to perform in the Cathedral. The Rector of the Diocesan Cathedral Church shall have the status and title of Dean, and the Vestry in electing a Dean or any assistant minister, shall not proceed to an election without first receiving the Bishop's approval of their proposed choice. The Bishop shall be responsible for the ceremonial of the Cathedral.
