FWIW, I'd probably take a Valk or a Ranger in place of the Ninja. Ninjas level as slowly as Bishops, and don't seem to have that much as compensation. A Faerie Ninja with the CofC is the obvious best bet but, as Zig says, it takes a long time to get one going. In contrast, the Valkyrie is a powerful melee fighter from day one, and becomes a good healer/protector; the Ranger is good from a distance to start, and becomes a kick-ass offensive magic user, competent healer, and fair melee fighter later on.
With the party you've listed, you'll probably want the Bishop to cover the Priest- and Psionic-book spells as a first priority. That being the case, it will be a while before you get the Ninja's Alchemy up to where you can generate a decent amount of cash to buy spell books for the Bishop, so you'll need to watch your budget. Or push the Bishop's Alchemy to 30 as quickly as possible, and use the bank vault to raise it from there--but that will mean leaving Psionics on the back burner for a while. Other than that, standard guidelines for building hybrids should cover it.
