Anglicanism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anglicanism (from Latin anglicanus "English") is the entirety of the faith and religious life of the "Church of England" ( Church of England ) and its daughter churches. Most of these daughter churches belong to the Anglican Communion , but some have separated from the communion.

In the pre-Reformation period, the expression referred to the national church efforts in England (cf. Gallicanism in France), which did not aim to break away from Rome , but rather to achieve greater national church autonomy .
