Provincial episcopal visitor
Church of England bishop / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A provincial episcopal visitor (PEV), popularly known as a flying bishop, is a Church of England bishop assigned to minister to many of the clergy, laity and parishes who on grounds of theological conviction,[1] "are unable to receive the ministry of women bishops or priests".[2] The system by which such bishops oversee certain churches is referred to as alternative episcopal oversight (AEO).[3]
