The Anglican Communion

Comunión Anglicana Escudo

The Anglican Communion is a global Christian community made up of autonomous churches that share a common tradition of faith, liturgy and doctrine. With more than 85 million members in over 165 countries, it is the third largest Christian community in the world, after the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.

It originated in England with the Reformation of the 16th century, when the Church of England separated from the authority of the Pope and consolidated an identity of its own that combined elements of Catholicism and Protestantism. Since then, Anglicanism has spread throughout the world through British mission and colonization, giving rise to a great diversity of cultural and theological expressions within the same tradition.

Structure and Fundamental Principles

Unlike the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion has no single central authority, but it does have a spiritual leader: the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is the Primate of the Church of England and a symbol of unity within the Communion. However, his role is one of primacy of honor and not of jurisdiction over other provinces.

Each national or regional Anglican church is autonomous and organized into provinces, each led by a primate bishop or archbishop. Doctrinal and pastoral decisions are made locally, although the churches are linked by their shared heritage and their participation in international bodies, such as the Lambeth Conference, the Anglican Consultative Council and the Primates’ Meeting.

Anglicanism is based on Sacred Scripture, tradition and reason as fundamental sources of authority. Its theology is broad and inclusive, allowing the coexistence of diverse currents within the same Church: Anglo-Catholics (with a liturgy similar to the Catholic one), evangelicals (with a Protestant influence) and liberals (with openness to new interpretations of the faith).

Fe y Práctica

One of the central elements of the Anglican Communion is the Book of Common Prayer, which sets out the liturgy and prayers that unite all Anglican churches. The Eucharist is the central act of worship, and apostolic succession is recognized, meaning that its bishops are in continuity with the first apostles of Christ.

Anglicanism also values ecumenical dialogue and has established relationships with other Christian denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and various Protestant churches. Its tradition of openness has allowed for the ordination of women and a flexible stance on theological and social issues.
