It's as hard to decline living in a bishopric as it is to decline living in the town of your choice. They're just there.
A bishopric (aka a "see") is the area that falls under the aegis of a bishop of the Anglican (Episcopalian) Church. It usually comprises several parishes.
Unemployed bishops who have been without a bishopric for an extended period gave rise to the phrase "long time no see".
