- The Archbishop of York is a senior bishop in the Church of England, second only to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The archbishop is the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of York and the metropolitan bishop of the Province of York, which covers the northern regions of England (north of the Trent) as well as the Isle of Man. The Archbishop of York is an ex officio member of the House of Lords and is styled Primate of England (the Archbishop of Canterbury is the "Primate of All England"). The archbishop's throne (cathedra) is in York Minster in central York and his official residence is Bishopthorpe Palace in the village of Bishopthorpe outside York. The incumbent, from 5 October 2005, is John Sentamu who signs as +Sentamu Ebor: (since both John and Sentamu are his forenames). Six of the early Bishops of York and one Archbishop (William of York) were ultimately canonised by the Roman Catholic Church, and five more historically recent Archbishops ultimately achieved the supreme Archbishopric of Canterbury.
- The Society of St John the Evangelist (SSJE) is an Anglican religious order for men. The members live under a rule of life and, at profession, make monastic vows of poverty, celibacy and obedience. SSJE was founded in 1866 at Cowley, Oxford, England, by Father Richard Meux Benson, a priest in the Church of England, and Fr Charles Chapman Grafton. Known colloquially as the Cowley Fathers, the society was the first stable religious community of men to be established in the Anglican Communion since the English Reformation. For many years the society had houses in Scotland, India, South Africa, Japan and Canada.In 1870 the society came to Boston, Massachusetts, where it became part of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. 
- The Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian communion with 85 million members, founded in 1867 in London, England. It consists of the Church of England and national and regional Anglican episcopal polities in full communion with it, with traditional origins of their doctrines summarised in the Thirty-nine Articles (1571). Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury acts as a focus of unity, recognised as primus inter pares ("first among equals"), but does not exercise authority in the provinces outside England. The Anglican Communion was founded at the Lambeth Conference in 1867 in London, England, under the leadership of Charles Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury. For some adherents, Anglicanism represents a non-papal Catholicism, for others a form of Protestantism though without guiding figure such as Luther, Knox, Calvin, Zwinglior Wesley, or for yet others a combination of the two. Most of its 85 million members live in the Anglosphere of former British territories. Full participation in the sacramental life of each church is available to all communicant members. Due to their historical link to England (Ecclesia Anglicana means "English Church"), some of the member churches are known as Anglican, such as the Anglican Church of Canada. Some, for example the Church of Ireland, the Scottish and AmericanEpiscopal churches, and some other associated churches have a separate name.
- The Continuing Anglican movement, also known as the Anglican Continuum, encompasses a number of Christian churches that are from the Anglican tradition but that are not part of the Anglican Communion. The largest of the active American jurisdictions are the Anglican Catholic Church, the Anglican Church in America, the Anglican Province of America, the Anglican Province of Christ the King, the Diocese of the Holy Cross, the Episcopal Missionary Church, and the United Episcopal Church of North America. These churches generally believe that traditional forms of Anglican faith and worship have been unacceptably revised or abandoned within some Anglican Communion churches in recent decades. They claim, therefore, that they are "continuing" or preserving the Anglican line of apostolic succession as well as historic Anglican belief and practice.
- Ravi Zacharias (born 26 March 1946) is an Indian-born Canadian-American Christian apologist. A defender of traditional evangelicalism, Zacharias is the author of numerous Christian books, including theGold Medallion Book Award winner Can Man Live Without God? in the category "theology and doctrine" and Christian bestsellers Light in the Shadow of Jihad and The Grand Weaver. He is the founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, host of the radio programs Let My People Thinkand Just Thinking, and has been a visiting scholar at Ridley Hall, where he studied moralist philosophers and literature of the Romantic era, and has had six honorary doctoral degrees, including a Doctor of Laws and a Doctor of Sacred Theology^{[citation needed]}. Zacharias held the chair in Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminaryfrom 1981 to 1984. Evangelical Christian leader Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time."

• The Episcopal Church (TEC) is the United States-based member church of the worldwide Anglican Communion. It is aChristian church divided into nineprovinces and has dioceses in the United States, Taiwan, Micronesia, the Caribbean,Central and South America, as well as the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe and the Navajoland Area Mission. The current Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church is Michael Curry, the first African American bishop to serve in that position. In 2013, the Episcopal Church had 2,009,084 baptized members, of whom 1,866,758 were in the United States. In 2011, it was the nation's 14th largest denomination. In 2015, Pew Research estimated that 1.2 percent of the adult population, or 3 million people, self-identify as mainline Episcopalians/Anglicans. Along with several other Protestant traditions, Episcopalians tend to be considerably wealthier and better educated (having graduate and post-graduate degrees per capita) than most other religious groups in United States, and are disproportionately represented in the upper reaches of American business, law andpolitics. The church was organized after the American Revolution, when it became separate from theChurch of England, whose clergy are required to swear allegiance to the British monarch asSupreme Governor of the Church of England. The Episcopal Church describes itself as "Protestant, Yet Catholic".The Episcopal Church considers itself to be apostolic, as it teaches that its bishops can be traced back to the apostles via holy orders. The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the United States version of the collection of traditional rites, blessings, liturgies, and prayers used throughout the Anglican Communion, and is central to Episcopalian worship.
• The Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) is a Christian denomination in the Anglican tradition in the United States and Canada. It also includes some parishes in Mexico and a missionary district in Cuba. Headquartered in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, the church reported 29 dioceses and 966 congregations serving an estimated membership of 111,853 in 2015. The first archbishop of the ACNA was Robert Duncan, who was succeeded by Foley Beach in 2014. The ACNA was founded in 2009 by former members of the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Anglican Church of Canada who were dissatisfied with increasingly liberal doctrinal and social teachings in their former churches, which they considered contradictory to traditional Anglican belief. Prior to 2009, these conservative Anglicans had begun to receive support from a number of Anglican churches (or provinces) outside of North America, especially in the Global South. Several Episcopal dioceses and many individual parishes in both Canada and the United States voted to transfer their allegiance to Anglican provinces in South America and Africa. In 2009, many Anglican groups who had withdrawn from the two North American provinces united to form the Anglican Church in North America. Unlike the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada, the ACNA is not a member province of the Anglican Communion, although the holy orders of clergy within the Anglican Church in North America are recognized by the primus inter pares of the Anglican Communion, the Archbishop of Canterbury. From its inception, the Anglican Church in North America has sought full membership in the Anglican Communion, and the church does maintain full communion with nine Anglican Communion provinces.

• 英國聖公會管理委員會日前投票通過，轄下的教堂不再需要遵守逢周日舉行主日祟拜的規定。這個規定追溯至一六○三年。過去幾十年，參與教會活動的人數愈來愈少。提出動議的威爾斯登主教表示，目前的運作不符合實際情況。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20190224/00180_013.html
•  The Church Mission Society (CMS), formerly in Britain and currently in Australia and New Zealand known as the Church Missionary Society, is a mission society working with the Anglican Communion, Protestant, and Orthodox Christians around the world. Founded in 1799, CMS has attracted over nine thousand men and women to serve as mission partners during its 200-year history. The society has also given its name "CMS" to a number of daughter organisations around the world.The original proposal for the mission came from Charles Grant and George Uday of the East India Company and the Rev. David Brown, of Calcutta, who sent a proposal in 1787 to William Wilberforce, then a young member of parliament, and Charles Simeon, a young clergyman at Cambridge University. The Baptist Missionary Society was formed in 1792 and the London Missionary Society was formed in 1795 to represent various evangelical denominations. The Society for Missions to Africa and the East (as the society was first called) was founded on 12 April 1799 at a meeting of the Eclectic Society, supported by members of the Clapham Sect, a group of activist evangelical Christians, who met under the guidance of John Venn, the Rector of Clapham. Their number included Charles Simeon, Basil Woodd, Henry Thornton, Thomas Babington and William Wilberforce. Wilberforce was asked to be the first president of the society, but he declined to take on this role and became a vice-president. The treasurer was Henry Thornton and the founding secretary was Thomas Scott, a biblical commentator. Many of the founders were also involved in creating the Sierra Leone Company and the Society for the Education of Africans.
• The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism. Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches. (The Brethren would generally prefer that their gatherings be referred to as "assemblies," rather than "churches" but, in the interests of simplicity, this article uses both terms interchangeably.)

• 由於當時婦女鮮有接受教育的機會，其中一位傳教士白思德女士於香港島設立多間以她名字為校名的學校，教授各區婦女。1876年為紀念白女士的功績，將曾被燒毀後重建於荷李活道的一所學校，命名為白 思德紀念學校(Baxter Memorial School，後改名大笪地聖公會學校，荷李活聖公會學校)，開始時僅為識字班女館，其後漸次招收失學兒童。這所學校亦即今天聖馬太小學前身，是聖公會第 一間小學。1881年成立赤柱聖公會學校，1884年開設西營盤聖公會學校（即現在的聖彼得小學），1887年開設土瓜灣聖公會學校（即現在的聖提摩太小 學），1919年開設禮頓道聖公會學校（即現在的聖米迦勒小學），1924年開設深水聖公會學校（即現在的聖多馬小學）。 白女士息勞歸主後，她創辦 的女子教育事業由莊思端女士（Miss Johnstone）及列理女士（Miss Ridley）等傳道人接辦，並於1885年成立「女子教育協會」(Female Education Society)。翌年將白女士創辦的學校改名為F. E. S.日校。後來這些學校由西差會接辦，稱為C. M. S. Day Schools，成為聖公會初期的小學。 1930至31年間，港島尚有「筲箕灣聖公會」、「西灣河聖公會」、「魚涌聖公會」三校；九龍有「北京道聖公會」、「油麻地聖公會」（諸聖小學前身）、「侯王道聖公會」、「紅磡聖公會」四校期間，前後共創設十三校，學生人數千餘人。至第二次世界大戰爆發，校務因而停頓。1961年，為方便發展及計劃擴展學校工作，於是便成立「聖公會小學監理委員會」，接管由「英國海外傳道會」創立的學校，改為 Sheng Kung Hui Primary Schools Council。第一屆註冊委員會主席何明華會督，副主席彭約榮先生，義務秘書楊乃舜先生，義務司庫林植宣博士、李福和先生，後李先生請辭，由葉禮先生補 替。http://apsc.org.hk/02_about_us.html

• 聖公會諸聖座堂一名退休牧師，被女教友民事指控被他所騙，將她名下的物業轉名予牧師。女教友並聲稱牧師更以不同理由，多次向她需索金錢，涉款逾四百萬元。女教友因此向牧師及有份處理涉案財產的牧師妻子及姨仔興訟，要求取回業權及金錢。案件在高院經過一星期審訊後，昨日橫生枝節，出現戲劇性情況。主審法官表示昨日凌晨收到一名任職大律師的該教會女高層之電郵，請求法官「運用智慧免卻教會繼續尷尬」。法官隨即向與訟雙方匯報此事後，女教友一方要求法官避嫌停審此案。法官考慮後決定「換官」，案件需重新排期審訊。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20190306/00176_012.html
