However, certain ideas tinged with Jansenism remained in circulation for much longer ; in particular, the Jansenist idea that Holy Communion should be received very infrequently, and that reception required much more than freedom from mortal sin, remained influential until finally condemned by Pope St. Pius X, who endorsed frequent communion, as long as the communicant was free of mortal sin, in the early 20th century.

The Anglican Communion is an international association of national and regional Anglican churches ( and a few other episcopal churches ) in full communion with the Church of England ( which is regarded as the mother church of the worldwide communion ) and specifically with its principal primate, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

With a membership currently estimated at over 85 million members worldwide, the Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches.

The Anglican Communion considers itself to be part of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and to be both Catholic and Reformed.

The Anglican Communion Office is headed by its Secretary General, the Reverend Canon Kenneth Kearon.

The Anglican Communion has no official legal existence nor any governing structure which might exercise authority over the member churches.

There is an Anglican Communion Office in London, under the aegis of the Archbishop of Canterbury, but it only serves a supporting and organisational role.

The Communion is held together by a shared history, expressed in its ecclesiology, polity and ethos and also by participation in international consultative bodies.

Three elements have been important in holding the Communion together: First, the shared ecclesial structure of the component churches, manifested in an episcopal polity maintained through the apostolic succession of bishops and synodical government ; second, the principle of belief expressed in worship, investing importance in approved prayer books and their rubrics ; and third, the historical documents and standard divines that have influenced the ethos of the Communion.

As such Anglicanism was, from the outset, a movement with an explicitly episcopal polity, a characteristic which has been vital in maintaining the unity of the Communion by conveying the episcopate's role in manifesting visible catholicity and ecumenism.

These Articles ( though no longer binding ) have had an influence on the ethos of the Communion, an ethos reinforced by their interpretation and expansion by such influential early theologians as Richard Hooker, Lancelot Andrewes, John Cosin, and others.

With the expansion of the British Empire, and hence the growth of Anglicanism outside Great Britain and Ireland, the Communion sought to establish new vehicles of unity.

From the outset, these were not intended to displace the autonomy of the emerging provinces of the Communion, but to " discuss matters of practical interest, and pronounce what we deem expedient in resolutions which may serve as safe guides to future action.

As mentioned above, the Anglican Communion has no international juridical organisation.

The Archbishop of Canterbury's role is strictly symbolic and unifying and the Communion's three international bodies are consultative and collaborative, their resolutions having no legal effect on the autonomous provinces of the Communion.

# The Archbishop of Canterbury ( ab origine ) functions as the spiritual head of the Communion.

He is the focus of unity, since no church claims membership in the Communion without being in communion with him.

It is a forum for bishops of the Communion to reinforce unity and collegiality through manifesting the episcopate, to discuss matters of mutual concern, and to pass resolutions intended to act as guideposts.

The body has a permanent secretariat, the Anglican Communion Office, of which the Archbishop of Canterbury is president.

Since there is no binding authority in the Communion, these international bodies are a vehicle for consultation and persuasion.

The most notable example has been the objection of many provinces of the Communion ( particularly in Africa and Asia ) to the changing role of homosexuals in the North American churches ( e. g., by blessing same-sex unions and ordaining and consecrating gays and lesbians in same-sex relationships ), and to the process by which changes were undertaken.

Those who objected condemned these actions as unscriptural, unilateral, and without the agreement of the Communion prior to these steps being taken.

In response, the American Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada answered that the actions had been undertaken after lengthy scriptural and theological reflection, legally in accordance with their own canons and constitutions and after extensive consultation with the provinces of the Communion.
