Difference between Archbishop of Canterbury and Provincial episcopal visitor

Archbishop of Canterbury vs. Provincial episcopal visitor

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior bishop and principal leader of the Church of England, the symbolic head of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Canterbury. 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, "are unable to receive the ministry of women bishops or priests." The system by which said bishops provide certain churches with oversight is referred to as alternative episcopal oversight (AEO).
