The Anglican Communion

 

The Anglican Communion is a family of Churches in over 165 countries around the world.  The modern Anglican Communion recognises itself as being in a relationship of unity based on four Instruments of Communion:

  • The Archbishop of Canterbury, who exercises a role of spiritual leadership

  • The Lambeth conference of Bishops of the Anglican Communion meeting every 10 years.

  • The Primates Meeting of Archbishops, Presiding Bishops, Moderators and Chief Pastors.

  • The Anglican Consultative Council of laity, priests, bishops and archbishops meeting triennially.
