Your Grace is definitely the correct way since it is a formal letter. When you meet much will depend on how well you are aquainted with him. If perhaps you have known him prior to going in to religious life he may well waver all formalities and tell you to address him in the manner you previously did. |

How would you resolve the *See the extension to this
question for the entire
scenario.
There are 3 guys. A Bishop, a
bandit, and a Buddhist. The
Bishop is good, the bandit is
evil, and the Buddhist is a
middle-of-the-roader that
firmly believes in
reincarnation. Each one has a
radically different life and
belief system, but they have
one thing in common: they all
plan on having their bodies
cryogenically frozen when they
die, so that they can be
thawed, healed, and revived
once the technology is
available in the future.
Eventually, they all die, and
their bodies are laid out and
frozen next to each other,
with each man in his own
chamber. Their souls
disincorporate and move on.
The bishop goes to Heaven, the
bandit goes to Hell, and the
Buddhist is reincarnated into
his next body. First he

First of all, you can't simulate a scenario based on two opposing beliefs. Just because some characters believed in reincarnation doesn't mean he/she will be reincarnated. Likewise, eventhough someone believes in heaven and hell, it doesn't follow that his/her beliefs will hold. But in your case, we'll assume reincarnation will happen when someone dies, after all this is the source of the dilemma. However, there are still two problems with your scenario: One, assuming that when a person experiences near death, their soul disincorporates temporarily until the physical body is fixed. According to the story, they all died (not nearly dead). I think this should be the end of the story already. Their souls should have left their bodies without the possibility of coming back, since the physical bodies are lifeless. Two, assuming their bodies were cryogenically frozen before they die and their souls disincorporate temporarily. I would think their souls would not reincarnate to a different body yet since their original bodies have not died. Again, assuming their souls can reincarnate eventhough their original bodies have not died yet, then we can say that a different soul will occupy the newly revived body. If there are no "spare souls" then they'll have a problem. That makes us question our assumption: Does reincarnation really happen? If the answer is no, then it'll solve our dilemma, right? |

How would you address a Bishop if a bishop has a doctorates
of divinity, how would you
address him? i know that
reverends style themselves as
(eg) Reverend Doctor John
Smith, DD. would that be the
same for a doctor? also are
they your holiness, your
eminence, etc?
