- Notes
- "Three suffragan bishops, two in Canterbury province and one in York, will be appointed to serve as Provincial Episcopal Visitors (PEV) to minister to people, both evangelical and catholic, in the Church of England, who do not accept the Synod's decision to ordain women as priests. Called "An Act of Synod" the plan was presented to the November Synod of the Church of England by the House of Bishops who agreed as a body to implement its goals. The plan is based on a plan initiated by the Bishop of London, Dr. David Hope, conceived shortly after the vote for women priests in 1992."
