Anglican

The Anglican Communion is the third-largest Christian body globally, comprising the Church of England and its national counterpart provinces across approximately 165 countries. The English Reformation under Henry VIII and the Elizabethan Settlement produced the modern Anglican tradition; the Communion expanded through British colonial reach from the seventeenth century onward.

Anglican entries currently in this archive concern the early twenty-first-century Church of England safeguarding reckoning — most prominently the Makin Review of 2024, which directly precipitated the resignation of Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The Anglican Communion's role in the Canadian Indian Residential School system is treated in the multi-denominational entry on that topic; further Anglican-specific institutional cases are pending writeup.
