Bishop of the LCiGB

Can you really consider a Bishop a real Bishop when they were elected by less than 25 people?

Are there any other Lutheran Bishops in the world that have been elected by so few people?

Are there any other Bishops who have been a pastor in so many different Lutheran Churches?

Is it appropriate for a LCiGB Bishop to explain that the LCiGB does not ordain women? Or that the LCiGB does not even ordain pastors?

Most Lutheran Bishops ordain pastors . For unexplainable reasons the current Lutheran Church in Great Britain Bishop has written that she does not ordain woman although she has. She has also told the very people she has ordained that they are not really ordained until the LCiGB Trustees approve them.

Why would the current Bishop tell pastors ordained by the previous Bishop of the LCiGB that they are not really LCiGB Pastors?

I wonder if the only "real" LCiGB Pastors are the ones that don't question the Bishop?

Could it be that the current Bishop's theology concerning ordination and the role of a Lutheran Bishop is confused and inconsistent because the current Bishop has no degree in theology ?
