Suspension of the Episcopal Church?

Just a question: Should the recent "suspension" of the Episcopal Church in the United States be a section on this article under the topic controversies? JustTryintobeJust (talk) 21:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Archbishop Justin Welby clarified that the Episcopal Church is not suspended because the Primates' Meeting has no legal power to do that. "the Primates' meeting has no legal authority over Provinces."^[1] SeminarianJohn (talk) 08:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)SeminarianJohn[reply]

It seems like it's still a controversy, no? afuller2028 (talk) 23:12, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of Scottish Episcopal Church

This article should make it clearer that the Scottish Episcopal Church is not an offshoot of the Church of England. Also after the USA's separatist rebellion was successful, the English church cut off the Episcopal Church there and it was through the efforts of Scottish Episcopalians that it got back on its feet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.51.162.96 (talk) 20:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Map ??

I find the map puzzling. What are "autonomous churches" in distinction to the other provinces?? I do not find that in the article. Is it supposed to mean something like "national provinces" differentiated from "supernational" ones? Kipala (talk) 06:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

An editor recently made some major revisions that are based on original research, particularly regarding membership and structure. For example, although the citations say the Anglican Church of Southern Africa has 3 - 4 million members.The editor changed it to 2.5 million. It would be helpful if other editors could go through the article and check the cited sources and make sure it's lining up with what has been changed. They've also changed the definition of membership for some of the churches seemingly based on original research. For example, the Church of England is well-known to have about 25 million baptised members. The CofE does not distinguish between inactive and active members (similar to how the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox also report their baptised membership without distinguishing). However, an editor came up with around 8 million despite the cited sources saying 25-26 million. Thank you, other editors, for helping to watch and maintain the article.SeminarianJohn (talk) 22:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
