Why do Church of England churches let Catholics take communion?
The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism."

Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.
