About Anglicanism
A Christian tradition that took shape when the Church of England separated from papal authority under Henry VIII. Adherents describe it as both Catholic and Reformed. The Book of Common Prayer shapes its worship. The worldwide Anglican Communion looks to the Archbishop of Canterbury as a focus of unity.
