Bancroft found his way into the National Portrait Gallery. His influence extends around the world - even to this day. The Protestant minister to this day, in most cases, still serves as a de facto Parish Priest, regardless of the vocabulary in play. Thus creating an unscriptural, subversive, and tragic clergy and laity dichotomy.

All ministry belongs to ALL SAINTS, according to their gifts and opportunities. The whole purpose of church leadership was to expedite this goal: 11 And he gave some, apostles, and some, prophets, and some, evangelists, and some, pastors and teachers 12 For the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ. Amen.
