The Church has put together a team to review the role of Archbishop of Wales after the incumbent Dr Barry Morgan called for a rethink to ease the pressures for his successors.
He wants the role to be separate from the diocesan bishop role.
As it stands the archbishop is elected from the six bishops in Wales. The elected bishop then keeps his role as well as taking on the role of archbishop.
Speaking at the Governing Body of the Church in Wales, he said: "In 1920, with only four dioceses and a more leisurely pace of life, that was fine, but four of my eleven predecessors have said that this model is at breaking point or have found the post very demanding for different reasons.
"I add my voice to that chorus."
The review team will report back at Easter next year and in the meantime the public are being asked to give their opinions.
The working group's chair, Professor Gareth Lloyd Jones, said: "There is no doubt that the Archbishop of Wales is a prominent figure, not just in the Church in Wales but also in Welsh society.
"We need to be sure that what we ask of our Archbishop in future is reasonable, and appropriate for today's Wales.
"This is why we are keen to consider the views of people from not only the Church but all walks of life across the country our Church in Wales serves."
