One of these church traditions is called 'Anglican'. This word means 'English' and the 'Anglican Church' was originally another name for the Church of England but is now also often used for other national Anglican churches such as the Anglican Church of Canada. The various national Anglican churches belong to the worldwide Anglican Communion. In some countries, such as the United States, the national Anglican church is called the Episcopal Church and its members are often called 'Episcopalians'.


Who started the Anglican church and how?

== == The Anglican Church (the Church of England) is the historical continuation of the Christian Church that was started in the early centuries of Christianity. In the reign of King Henry VIII the Church of England began to separate from being under the jurisdiction of the Pope. This was a culmination of a number of schisms involving the Eastern Church, and the protestant movement that was begun in Germany by Martin Luther to protest at what was seen as corruption in the Catholic Church. After alltercations between Henry and the pope, not least the pope's refusal to grant Henry a divorce, he decided too to break away from Rome to form his own church - the church of England, with Christ at its head (and not the Pope) and himself and every subsequent monarch as the Supreme Governor on earth, with the Archbishop of Canterbury as spiritual head. == ==
