alternative episcopal oversight

noun1

1. •
   A system allowing parishes that reject the theological permissibility of the ordination or consecration of women to receive ministration from a bishop other than that of their respective geographical diocese, known as a provincial episcopal visitor or “flying bishop”.

   • Alternative episcopal oversight breaks this strong link between the local bishop and the geographical diocese; moreover, it undermines the bishop as a symbol of unity for the local church. — 2018
