United Methodism
United Methodist Christians often speak of a Dean in terms of the Dean of the Cabinet. Every Annual Conference has a Bishop's Cabinet made up of the District Superintendents under the Bishop's appointment, as well as occasionally a few other conference officials. One of these Superintendents is chosen by his/her colleagues to serve as the Dean, usually for one year. This Dean then has certain administrative and leadership responsibilities, and is accountable to the Bishop.
