Volume 7 · 62 words · 1860 Edition

or Collegial, church, is one which has no bishop's see, yet has the ancient retinue of a bishop, canons, and prebends. Such are Westminster, Rippon, Windsor, &c., governed by deans and chapters. Collegiate churches, in Scotland, are those where two ministers serve the cure as colleagues; dividing the duty between them in such proportions as may be arranged, and generally preaching alternately.
