They are closely aligned in theology (except for Sydney Anglican) however the most obvious difference is that they are structured differently. The Uniting Church operates as a council-based church (no one person can make decisions on their own) and the Anglican church operates with Bishops etc - hierarchically.
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.
The Uniting Church is Protestant, as oppose to Catholic. Google "reformation" :) The Uniting Church is also made up of 3 denominations that joined together: The Presbyterian, Congregationalist and Methodist.
Mainly locations - the Episcopalian church is pretty much the American branch of the Anglican Church, which was the Church of England.

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.
The uniting church was formed on the 22 of June 1977.
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. All christian groups perform this service except salvatioists and quakers.AnswerThere is a great deal of difference. 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.
