​​WHO ARE WE?
First and foremost, Anglicans are Christians. Globally, Anglicans form the third largest body of Christians in the world (around 80 million). 

WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?
The name “Anglican” is traced back to an ancient Anglo-Saxon tribe of Europe, spelled “Engles” or “Angles.” The tribe’s speech was the precursor to the English language. Their island became known as "England," and the local Christians were known as "Anglicans." (The name has nothing to do with “angels.”)

WHERE ARE WE?

Short answer: Everywhere. As the English language spread with the British empire, so did Anglicanism. Wherever they went they brought their faith with them. Today Anglican churches exist in over 165 countries - most of us in Africa - and exceed 35 million. Demographics shifted dramatically. While Christians from Britain, the United States, Canada, and Australia continue to play an important role, the “average” Anglican today is a young woman from Sub-Saharan Africa.

THREE STREAMS? WHAT"S THAT ABOUT?
When we gather to worship, three streams of faithful expression work in a balanced unity.

• Sacrament/Traditional. We hold to the treasure of the institutional church. We observe the seasons of the church, use the Book of Common Prayer as our service book, wear robes, stand and sit, and esteem baptism and Holy Communion above all the sacramental rites.  

• Scripture/Evangelical. We are Biblically orthodox, preaching salvation in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin.

• Spirit/Charismatic. We embrace the Person of the Holy Spirit, as God's gift to his Church.
