Anglican refers to the main church of England. The term Anglican comes from the Latin word "anglicanus", which means "of England". The Anglican Church is also known as the Church of England and was founded in the 16th century by King Henry VIII. Since then, it has developed as a worldwide community of churches with over 85 million members in around 165 countries. The Archbishop of Canterbury is considered the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, which includes the Church of England, the Episcopal Church in the United States, and other churches that share Anglican beliefs and practices.
