B. Donegan]] of whom Episcopal [[suffragan bishop]] [[Robert E. Terwilliger]] said "We often say that Bishop Donegan is the last prince bishop of the church because in his graciousness, in his presence, in his total lack of any crisis of identity, we have seen what a bishop is; and we know that it is a kind of royalty in Christ."<ref>{{cite web|title=The Apostolic Ministry|author=Robert E.

Anglican Archbishop [[Robert Duncan (bishop)|Robert Duncan]] expressed his view that the pastoral changes "in the 1970s was a revolution in reaction to those prince bishops – they had all this authority, they had all this power." So systems such as the Commission on Ministry system in the Episcopal Church "was to replace an individual's authority with a committee's authority."<ref name=ATVM/>
