Strange for all to see bishop stopping confirmation (7)
I believe the answer is:
surreal
'strange' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'for all to see bishop stopping confirmation' is the wordplay.
'for all to see' becomes 'u' (universal dvd certificate).
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'stopping' means one lot of letters goes inside another (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'confirmation' becomes 'seal'.
'u'+'rr'='urr'
'urr' put within 'seal' is 'SURREAL'.
(Other definitions for surreal that I've seen before include "Like Dada image, perhaps" , "Like the paintings of Rene Magritte" , "strange" , "Dreamlike - Dali-like" , "Dali being so?" .)
