There are many similarities between Catholic Churches and Church of England churches for the simple reason that all the original Church of England churches were Catholic Churches before they were stolen by King Henry VIII and appropriated for his new "church". They all contain an altar situated in a sanctuary, and a place for the people (called the nave). Many of them still contain a choir between the nave and the altar.

What is a non-Anglican?
A non-Anglican is simply someone who is not part of the Anglican church, which encompases the Church of England, the Episcopal Church, as well as several other smaller Anglican communities. So an example of a non-Anglican would be a Catholic, a Methodist, or anyone else not in the Anglican Church.
What is the difference between the church of England and the Methodist church?
The Church of England, or Anglican church was once upon a time Catholic. It was controlled by the pope. Then it became Protestant. From that Anglican church came an Oxford educated priest named John Wesley. He, with the help of his brother Charles and many others, began a movement which evolved into the Methodist Church. So, one is the state church of England, the other an international protestant denomination.
Protestants who left the angelican church to found their own churches?
separatists wanted to leave the Anglican churches to form their own churches. John Wesley founded the Methodist Church in large part because Anglican authorities would not provide missionary priests to settlers in America. He and Asbury were both trained in Anglican Universities and founded the Methodist Church in America. (Though Methodist societies were formed first in England.)
What are the differences between Uniting and Anglican?
The Anglican Church is headed by the British Monarchy and is an offshoot from the Roman Catholic Church. There are different levels of Anglicanism in Australia, with the High Anglican being similar to Catholicism, and the Low Anglican church being radically different, in ceremonial celebration and many areas of theology. ---- The Uniting Church is made up of the Congregational Union in Australia, some church membership from the Methodist Church of Australasia, and some congregations of the Presbyterian Church of Australia, totally different organisations that are now working in cooperation with each other. Some independent Wesleyan Methodist and Presbyterian churches operate, with a more traditional theology. The Uniting Church is a more liberal church.

When was the Methodist church established?
The United Methodist Church came into being in 1968, when the Methodist Church merged with the United Brethren Church. Methodist ministers first preached in any sort of building. Circuit riders, Asbury and Coke being two of them, traveled by horseback to preach the gospel and establish churches until there was scarcely any crossroad community in the United States without a Methodist presence. The Methodist Episcopal Church, the M.E. Church, the predecessor to the Methodist Church that merged above, officially began at the Baltimore Christmas Conference in 1784. Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke were the first bishops elected.

How was the Methodist religion established?
The Methodist movement was established as a result of the revival movement of Anglican minister John Wesley. Wesley and his associates argued that the Anglican and Catholic churches were too focused on form and function; rather than emphasizing the gospel message of individual salvation and personal accountability. Originally it was merely a movement within the Anglican church, but became a separate denomination after the Anglican church tried to suppress the movement.
What are the key differences between the Anglican Church and the Episcopal Church?
The key differences between the Anglican Church and the Episcopal Church lie in their structure and governance. The Anglican Church is a global communion of churches with the Archbishop of Canterbury as its spiritual leader, while the Episcopal Church is the branch of the Anglican Communion in the United States. The Episcopal Church has its own governing structure and can make decisions independently of the wider Anglican Communion.
