Anglicanism
Church of England
Anglicanism is the tradition of Christian faith and practice associated with the Church of England and churches historically descended from it.
It occupies a middle position between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, retaining episcopal structure and liturgical worship while embracing Reformed theology.
The worldwide Anglican Communion comprises autonomous national churches sharing this heritage: Anglicanism has always tolerated a range of theological views.
