Does the Anglican church have a leader?

The Anglican Church does not have a single leader in the same way that the Roman Catholic Church has the Pope. Instead, it is composed of various national and regional churches, each led by its own bishops and archbishops.

What did Archbishop of York John Sentamu do?

It is not a case of 'did' he do as he is still very much with us Thank God! The Church of England is split into two 'provinces' - of Canterbury and York. Other provinces of the worldwide Anglican Church include the Church in Wales, the Episcopaliand in the US and other churches in the Anglican communion throughout the world. The Rt Rev John Sentamu is the archbishop of the province of York and is spiritual leader of the York province of the Anglican Church. he is second in rank to the Archbishop of Canterbury. His 'job' is to lead the Church within the province, and to represent the Anglican Church worldwide in the absence of the Archbishop of Canterbury - in the same way as the Pope would do in the Roman Catholic Church. One should not be confused, however, between the term 'spiritual leader', 'supreme governor' and 'head' of the Anglican Church. John sentamu is the spiritual leader of the province of York, Rowan Williams is the Spiritual Leader of the Anglican Church, The Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church is always the reigning King or Queen - presently Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the Head of the Church is Jesus Christ.
