WI bishops in the thirteen colonies?

I'm curious about what would have happened if the English government had tried to organize bishoprics in the thirteen colonies. What would have been the likeliest POD for them to do this?
 
Just the more or less unsubstantiated rumor that the Imperial ministry might consider sending a bishop to the colonies was an important driver of the Revolution. If it had actually been attempted you're going to see huge resistance. The man would probably meet about as much success in his new job as the tax collectors sent IOTL.
 
What about Britain gave the Royal Governor General, the power to elevate members of the church already living in the thirteen colonies? For example:
1) Mather Byles of the Anglican Diocese of Massachusetts Bay
2) Samuel Andrews of the Anglican Diocese of New Hampshire
3) John Wentworth of the Anglican Diocese of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
4) Oliver Arnold of the Anglican Diocese of Connecticut
5) John Beardsley - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of New York
6) Jonathan Odell - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of New Jersey
7) Myles Cooper of the Anglican Diocese of Pennsylvania
8) Charles Inglis - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Delaware
9) Jonathan Boucher- Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Maryland
10) John Agnew - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Virginia
11) John Camm - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of North Carolina
12) Charles Woodmason - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina
13) John Joachim Zubly - Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Georgia
 
To be honest, it's really a question on when it would happen. There was some form of hierarchy created in 1635- you could perhaps have a position of 'Suffragan Bishop of North America' created then as a sub-dependency of London and serving the entirety of the colonies.
 
I think you'd need a different English Reformation (or at least some different components, such as a much less zealous Archbishop Laud.
 
One of the problems was that the Whigs didn't want to expand the power of the Church, so it's unlikely to happen on their watch.

Another problem was that the New England colonies (in particular) were afraid that bishops coming over would be part of a process of imposing an Established (Anglican) Church in the colonies. If it were made completely clear that one bishop was appointed for the Established Church of Virginia, and another one or two were appointed as NON-Established bishops to care for the Anglicans in areas where the Anglican church wasn't Established, then I suspect it would go over better.

I have a PoD - Queen Anne (who was quite supportive of the Church) hears John Wesley (probably has him summoned to the palace) and is impressed. She tells the hierarchy (of which she is, after all, the nominal head) that this godly man should be made a bishop. The CofE, viewing him as an unwelcome gadfly, promotes him sideways - ordains him bishop, and sends him off to the colonies with no money or staff or Established authority to be bishop over New England, New York and the midAtlantic colonies. Quite possibly they send someone else (more in political favour) to head the Church in Virginia.
