THE ANGLICAN CHURCH is often referred to as the Church of England—that's because the roots of the Anglican Communion are in the British Isles.
The Church of England is one part of the Anglican Communion. England (along with Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) is part of the United Kingdom for secular purposes, but there are separate Anglican Churches in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and we reflect this by having pages for each.
We offer these resources pertaining to the Church of England:
