Anglican Communion

In brief, The Anglican Communion is a Communion of Protestant churches which traces its roots to the English King, Henry VIII, and his disputes with the Roman Catholic Church over his divorce and remarriage. Today, the Anglican Communion is spread throughout the world, especially in English speaking countries.

Within the Anglican Communion and within each Anglican church there are three main wings: evangelical (low); anglo-catholic (high); liberal.
