CHURCH La anglicana “Church of England” es la Iglesia oficial de Inglaterra; su líder laico es el soberano, su cabeza espiritual el Arzobispo de Canterbury. En cambio, en Escocia la “Church of Scotland” es presbiteriana de tendencia calvinista. Los miembros de su clero se llaman “ministers” y no hay obispos dentro de esta jerarquía. La rama escocesa de la “Church of England” se denomina “Episcopal Church” en Escocia. La rama irlandesa de la “Church of England” se llama “Church of Ireland”. En EE.UU. el estado no es confesional ya que lo prohíbe la primera enmienda de su constitución, si bien los telepredicadores ("televangelists") tienen mucha influencia, sobre todo en los estados del sur.

La Iglesia Anglicana (Church of England) es la iglesia oficial de Inglaterra. Tiene su origen en la ruptura de Enrique VIII con la Iglesia católica en el siglo XVI. En ella se unen aspectos de la tradición católica y de la protestante. Su dirigente oficial es el monarca y su jefe espiritual el Arzobispo de Canterbury. Al clero se le permite contraer matrimonio y, desde 1992, las mujeres pueden ejercer el sacerdocio, cambio al que se opuso radicalmente la corriente conservadora.
Church of England
La Iglesia Presbiteriana Escocesa (Church of Scotland) es la iglesia nacional de Escocia, pero no depende de ninguna autoridad civil. Sigue la doctrina calvinista y se rige según las normas presbiterianas, lo que significa que está gobernada a nivel local, por ministers y dirigentes laicos (elders). Tanto hombres como mujeres pueden ejercer el sacerdocio. Hay una reunión anual (General Assembly) en la que se discuten asuntos nacionales, presidida por un Moderator, que es elegido anualmente.
