This was a quesyion when the C/E was working towards the Porvoo 
Agreement with the Scandinavuan Lutherans and when there were plans 
forreunion with the Methodists.  In both cases it was recognized that 
the historic /episkope/ had been maintained bit through corporate 
oversight rather than by tactile succession.  I can see attractions in 
that approach.
