Anglicanism is the religious tradition of the Church of England and the other autonomous members of the Anglican Communion. This branch of Christianity has more than 80 million members belonging to 44 regional and national churches.[1] While often considered a branch of protestantism, Anglicans generally prefer to see themselves as part of a "via media", or "middle way" somewhere between the Roman Catholic and protestant traditions. Anglicans continue to recite the Nicene Creed, professing their belief in "...one holy, catholic and apostolic church".
