Catholic AnswerThe Church of England is a protestant "church" and does not have valid and licit Orders (Valid and licit bishops and priests). They have attempted to remedy this in some specific situations by having Old Catholic or Orthodox Bishops participate in their consecrations, but they remain a protestant "church" and thus have no valid sacraments outside of baptism.

What are Three similarities between Anglican and Methodist church?

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 the difference between the Protestant Church and the Church of England?

From a Catholic point of view: there really isn't a difference between the members of the Church of England (Anglican or Episcopalian) or Protestants because all Churches who broke from Rome during the Reformation are considered Protestant since they "protested" the Roman Church. However, the Church of England considers themselves to be "quasi-Protestant" a somewhat cross section of both Protestantism and Catholicism since they still somewhat retained a few Catholic traditions and views, but are separate from the Roman Church. There are differences between Anglicans/Episcopalians and other Protestants, but the Anglicans are still considered Protestant by the Roman Catholic Church.
