	Anglican Communion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anglican Communion uses the compass rose as its symbol, signifying its worldwide reach and decentralized nature.
		There is no single "Anglican Church" since each national or regional church has full autonomy; as the name suggests, rather, the Anglican Communion is an association of these churches in full communion with each other and particularly with the Church of England, which may be regarded as the "mother church" of the worldwide communion.
		There are also a number of Anglican bodies which separated from a member church of the Anglican Communion and are no longer in communion with the Church of England.

		As the two elected members of the Anglican Consultative Council for the Church of Ireland, we wish to raise concerns about the request made by the Primates’ meeting to the Episcopal Church (USA) and Anglican Church of Canada to withdraw their members from the ACC until the next Lambeth Conference (2008).
		The ACC is truly the most representative of the Anglican Instruments of Unity – the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primates and the Lambeth bishops are all in episcopal orders.
		If the Anglican Church of Canada and Episcopal Church (USA) representatives on the ACC are only admitted to the Nottingham meeting in June to express their views on one issue, their churches will be precluded from participating in other important discussions which could both enhance fellowship and create perspective.

		In the United States, the Episcopal Church, which is part of the Anglican Communion, is also studying what action it might take against companies involved in home demolitions, settlement building and other activity connected with the Israeli occupation.
