All right, perhaps it would be fairer to say that the name Bishop can be interpreted either way (hence my preference for calling the Bishop+Knight compound a Cardinal, which not even Anglicans have!), and that the name of an ecclesiastical rank covers any denomination that has the rank. The standard Bishop would make a perfectly adequate 'Anglican Bishop' in the array shown. Where enhanced Bishops have a place is in small-board games with only one of each piece aside, but for those I suggest a Silverbishop (forward Wazir move added) or Silverider (forward Rook move added).
