 The [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], the head of the Holy See of Canterbury, is the head of the Communion and is seen sometimes, but erroneously, as the 'Anglican Pope.' Unlike a Pope, his official pronouncements are not considered binding on all Anglicans and his jurisdiction is limited to England.

This has occurred in the aftermath of the Episcopal Church's refusal to adhere to demands made to her to cease consecrating homosexual bishops. In addition, many provinces of the Anglican Communion are no longer in full communion with the Episcopal church, having unilaterally discontinued the relationship.

-The '''Anglican Communion''' is the third largest Christian division in the world after Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The Anglican Communion functions as a worldwide body of associated Anglican churches in full communion with the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]]. There are also a few churches that are not Anglican but have been received into full communion with the Anglican Communion, for instance the national churches of Scandinavia. The Church of England is often seen as the Mother Church of the Anglican Communion and all Anglican churchs.
