The Anglican Consultative Council reports that 65.4 million people in the world profess to be Anglican (or Episcopalian) and 2,877,000 of them live in Canada.
The total number of Anglicans is growing about one million a year. One in four of its members is a communicant. They are served by 560 bishops and more than 40,000 clergymen. The Anglican communion is a world-wide family which includes 22 autonomous "national" churches in which 93 principal countries are represented. Each member of this catholic church makes its own rules and appoints its own officers. In 1971-72, for the first time, the number of Anglicans outside England (32.9 million) was greater than the number in England (32.5 million).
As the proportion of English Anglicans decreases that of African Anglicans increases.
This international and inter-racial family shares common attitudes and inherited traditions, has a mutual recognition of ministers and a "mutual responsibility and interdependence in the Body of Christ."
The Anglican Church of Canada's general policy states that "the church is the Body of Christ and as such is concerned with the totality of human existence and man's eternal destiny. It is called to proclaim the Gospel of God's redeeming love through Christ, and deliverance from sin and from all that mars human life."
The habit of family consultation was started over 100 years ago with bishops meeting at Lambeth Conferences every 10 years. During the 1960's it was recognized that in the fast-changing world there was need for more frequent discussion and exchange of information.
This resulted in the formation of the Anglican Consultative Council, a non-legislative body which brings clerical and lay delegates from each member church together. Its first meeting was in Limuru, Kenya in 1971. It meets for the second time this year, in Dublin, Ireland.
Secretary-General of the Council and formerly Executive Officer of the Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. John W.A. Howe, says, "We live is a world where social and political situations can and do tear apart families and separate friends." He sees the Council as continuing the tradition of consultation which is of the essence of Anglican cohesion and the Anglican life style and serves as "an instrument of common action."
The two basic units of the Anglican Communion are the diocese and the parish. In the beginning, probably only one church existed in a city under the direction and control of a Bishop, seen as the successor to the Apostles. The Bishop was assisted by a number of presbyters (or priests) and deacons. The latter were chiefly concerned with works of charity. As the church spread out, and more than one church was established in a city, the Bishop left priests in charge of various congregations. When a congregation was small, two or more churches came under the care of one priest. This unit was called a parish. The parish then became a geographical area consisting of one or more churches. A diocese looked after by a Bishop is an area consisting of a number of parishes. Each diocese is in some ways, though not entirely, autonomous. Several dioceses are grouped together to form an ecclesiastical province which is in the care of an Archbishop known as a Metropolitan.
Dioceses, provinces and national churches all have their synods. In almost all cases, bishops, clergy and laity consult together in the interests of the church. The Bishop works in partnership with the people of his diocese (clergy and lay) and the priest works in partnership with his congregation, always conscious of Christ's dictum: "He who would be greatest among you must be as one that serves."

"The original conception of this book goes back some years. The writer, when in China, taught theological students Church History and other subjects related to Anglicanism, and was impressed by the lack of any book which sets out to do for the Anglican Communion the sort of thing done by the later Bishop of Chichester's 'A Brief Sketch of the Church of England'. .... The first draft of this book resulted, and, had circumstances permitted, it would have been translated into Chinese and published there. Since then much of the material has been used for lectures at St. Augustine's College, Canterbury; parts have been expanded, other parts cuts down, all has been written as for English readers, and the result is a new book". -- Preface.

"Through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Neil C. McMath, an annual lectureship, named by a special committee 'The McMath Lectures', has been established in the Diocese of Michigan. ... These lectures, delivered by the Bishop of Chester, on the occasion of the centennial of St. John's Church, Detroit, are the first in this series". -- Foreword.
"I would ask the reader to bear in mind the purpose of the lectures and to try to re-create the setting in which they were delivered. My objective was to express in a very small compass the splendor of the Anglican Communion in its Catholic and Reformed tradition. I was speaking to the man and woman in the pew and seeking to convey to them both the joy and responsibility of their membership in that part of the Catholic Church to which they have given their loyalty. The lectures were delivered on five consecutive week-days in April 1959, in the Church of St. John, Detroit". -- Intro.

"Sermon preached by the Reverend John Heuss, D.D., Rector".
"Each of the eighteen parts of the Anglican Communion governs, finances and manages it own affairs. We do not have a central administrative bureau, such as the Roman Catholic Church has in its Curia in the Vatican. Four years ago the bishops meeting at Lambeth decided that the Anglican Communion needed a central administrative officer to act as a liaison between the Archbishop of Canterbury and its eighteen autonomous sections around the world. Bishop Stephen F. Bayne, Jr., who grew up in Trinity Parish, now holds that office. He has accomplished much in his world-wide travels to strengthen the day-to-day ties between all parts of the Anglican Church.
I believe that the future will require a larger central administration. This subject probably will be discussed at the Anglican Congress in Toronto next summer. It is especially necessary that the missionary work be given financial assistance. This is one reason why I am trying, during my rectorship of Trinity Parish, to encourage the members of the Mother Church and the chapels to assume greater responsibility for the cost of their own programs. I hope the day will come when the people of Trinity Parish will pay for their own churches and not depend on endowment income. The endowment of Trinity Parish should be used for missionary work". -- p. 10-11. Second paragraph starting "I believe that the future ..." printed in red ink.

"In early 2001, Her Majesty's Ambassador to the Holy See, Mark Pellew, approached [the editor] with the proposal that an exhibition (probably sited in the Vatican Museums) should be prepared alongside a two-day colloquium. The subject matter would be the history of the Church of England and of Anglicanism world-wide. Knowledge of Anglicanism in mainland Europe is fairly sparse and this would be an important educational exercise as well as contributing to progress in deepening Anglican-Roman Catholic relations. The suggestion was that the exhibition and colloquium might focus on an English cathedral as a case study and that the cathedral choir might also come to Rome to offer living music from the English cathedral choral tradition. Norwich Cathedral was a good starting point". -- Preface.
