First, Anglican is not a religion, it is a denomination (like Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Etc.) of the Christian faith and as such they hold the Holy Bible to be the inspired word of God. In the Anglican's case, as in all "protestant" denominations, many members use the King James version since King James was an Anglican (Anglican means English - derived from the term "angloland" turned into England), and he commissioned the Bible that bears his name to be translated from the original languages. However, many churches (Catholic and protestant) use other equally valid translations of the Holy Bible (such as the New International Version, the Revised Standard Version, the Good News Bible and so on, and the Jerusalem Bible that is favoured by Catholics) and many Christians use a selection of Bible translations as only by studying the Bible and its translations in many forms can one really grasp the nuances of scripture, and what some words actually mean, without having to be expert in the original Greek of the New Testament and the Hebrew of the Old. By studying the subtle differences in words between translations, a better understanding of what the meaning underneath the passage often comes to light. However, whatever translation is used, the Holy Bible is seen by Christians as the inspired Word of God. Yes, it was written by a motley crew of writers - shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, tent-makers and even a despised tax collector - but the one thread that runs through it is the inspiration of God behind the words. This is what singles out Christianity (and Anglicanism as part of that Christian Church) from sects like Mormonism and Christian Science. In the latter two the Book of Mormon, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy take precedence over the Bible as divinely inspired writings, whilst in the Christian Church the scriptures stand alone as sufficient for salvation and as an understanding of how God has revealed himself to us throughout history.
