The article explicitly states that the Anglican Communion is the largest Protestant denomination whilst the link to Protestantism explicitly states that the Anglicans are not Protestants. This is an unacceptable contradiction.

The prolbem lies mainly with the self understanding within the Episcopal Church. I think that the official name of the Church is the Protesant Episcopal Church, at least it used to be that way, but there are parishes and dioceses which see themselves as a contination of the Catholic Church, but, of course, not the Roman Catholic Church. There are even seminaries, the most notable being Nashotah House Seminary in Wisconsin, that view themselves as Catholic or "Anglo Catholic" and view themselves as being for historical reasons part of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Yet there are very protestant parishes and dioceses as well.
For this reason, it is difficult to stick to one terminology. Probably, there needs to be some kind of note about this.[[User:BertSchlossberg|Bert Schlossberg]] 18:52, 12 January 2009 (EST)
