How it's used
Refers specifically to the administrative territory overseen by a bishop in Catholic or Anglican traditions. It functions as a formal organizational unit within the church hierarchy rather than a casual term for a local parish. When discussing the physical church building itself, use 教堂 instead to avoid confusion.
