In this document, the head of the Church of England is declared the reigning monarch-the king or Queen. At the same time, the provisions on salvation by personal faith are combined with the provision on the saving role of the Church. The Church hierarchy is preserved, and the idea of the priest as an intermediary between man and God is not rejected. The rite of ordination-ordination, from the point of view of Anglicanism, does not indicate that at this moment the initiate receives any special power to perform the sacraments and absolution of sins. In Anglicanism the meaning of sacred Tradition is denied and the teaching of Holy Scripture is held as the first-

the initial source of the creed. In religious practice, there are also elements of Catholic and Protestant rites. Worship in Anglican churches is largely reminiscent of Catholics-

chesky mass. The clergy have the special vestments. However, only two of the seven sacraments are recognized: baptism and communion. Just as in Lutheranism, these rites are given a symbolic character. When performing the rite of communion, the possibility of pre-realization is denied.

One of the characteristic features of Anglicanism is its Episcopal structure, which means that there is an ecclesiastical hierarchy claiming, like the Catholic hierarchy, the succession of power from the apostles. The Church of England has two Archbishoprics and a number of dioceses. The archbishops of Canterbury and York, as well as the bishops, are appointed by the monarch on the recommendation of a government Commission. The Archbishop of Canterbury is considered the spiritual leader of the Anglicans of great Britain. In addition to England, there are the Episcopal Church of Scotland, the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, and a number of churches in India,

South Africa, Pakistan, Canada, Australia, and other countries that were part of the British Empire. They are all United by the Anglican Union of churches, which elects an Advisory body, the Lambeth conferences.
