I take it you mean Presbyterian and Anglican?
If you do, then a Presbyterian Church is a Protestant Church, derived from John Calvin. After succeeding in displacing the Church in Scotland in the fifteenth century, the Presbyterians set their mind on capturing the Church in England!
Under Elizabeth, the Protestants were compelled to join the Established Church. This for political reasons. By 1640, they had gained strength in parliament and with dissident Anglicans caused a war of religion in this country!
What is the difference? The Anglican Church was the ancient catholic Church in this country , it believed in the old catholic truths of Apostolic Succession in both faith and orders. It believed in Revelation, Scripture and Holy tradition through the Councils. In short the Anglican Church was a Community of catholic believers within the Catholic Fold and holding to three Catholic Creeds and believing in Seven sacraments. The Real Presence and seven ecumenical councils!

What the difference between catholic church and Anglican?
There isn't one! The Anglican Church is the manifestation or showing forth of a Catholic Communion within the Body of Christ! A part of the whole!Or should I have asked which of the two separate and distinctive One True Catholic Church were you referring to?Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough classically the Anglican faith looks a lot like Catholicism, there is a vast difference. Catholicism is the church founded by Our Blessed Savior when He sent the Holy Spirit on the Apostles at Pentecost and prayed that they would be one. The Anglican church, as it was up until 30-40 years ago was founded by Elizabeth I as a compromise with the Protestants and the Catholics in her realm. The difference is one of authority, with the Catholic Church cleaving to the authority of Christ as manifested through Scripture and the Sacred Tradition, and interpreted by His Vicar on earth. The final authority in the Anglican Church rests between their bishops and the King or Queen of England.

Not much difference at all. Eucharist comes from the greek word meening "thanksgiving". It is based on the events that happened at the last supper.

The Anglican Church worldwide is a group of churches that all uphold the ethos of the Anglican Church and which are in communion with other Anglican Churches. In this group are the Church of England, many African Churches and the Episcopalians in the USA.The Anglican church is a very diverse group of churches ranging from evangelical charismatic worship that is reminiscent of Pentecostal churches at one end of the spectrum, through to more formal, liturgical worship at the other.The Anglican Catholic Church (or 'Anglo-Catholic Church) is that small branch of the Anglican Church that celebrates its roots in Catholicism and whose worship reflects those roots. Unlike the evangelical wing of the Anglican Church, the Anglo-Catholic group places more emphasis on sacramental worship and its style of worship is much more like the Roman Church with the use of ornate riitual and liturgy, including, as an example, the use of incense.In fact, the Anglo-Catholic wing is often almost indistinguishable from the Roman Catholic Church except that it refuses to accept the authority of the pope.This diversity is one of the great strengths of the Anglican Church in that the same denomination can hold a range of traditions in union and love.

Describe one important difference between Roman Catholic and Anglican priests?
Easy, Catholic clergy are bishops, priests, and deacons who have been ordained into the sacrificial priesthood of Christ through the Apostolic succession, and thus carry Our Blessed Lord's mandate to minister to His people. Anglican clergy are protestants who lost apostolic succession and do not have a proper sacrificial priesthood. Please see Apostolicae Curae issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1896 on the validly of Anglican Orders:http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Leo13/l13curae.htm
What is the difference between Catholic ordination and an Anglo ordination?
Catholic Ordination is a sacrament instituted by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and administered by a Bishop, who has his consecration in the Apostolic succession. It ontologically changes the man thus ordained. . Anglican ordination is a similar ceremony that institutes a man OR a woman into one of the three orders of protestant clergy in the Anglican Communion. Anglican ordination does not confer an ontological change, and this was ruled infallibly by Pope Leo XIII in Apostoloicae Curae, attached below.
