hmmm the anglican denomination is quite hard to describe. we r
under the See of Canterbury and we accept the Archbishop of
Canterbury(ABC) as the Primate aka 'First among equals' (there r
many of these weird and cheem angmoh terms in anglicanism) and a
tool of unity. But, in the case of Diocese of Singapore for
eg....we recognise our Bishop's leadership and Archbishop of the
Province of SE Asia leadership more than we have ties with the
ABC.
Notably, we must know that the Church of England is not Roman
Catholicism and we dun pay homage and answer to the ABC as if he is
the Roman Supreme Pontiff and this is what makes us differ from RC
among other doctrinal differences.
So a Diocese of any nation will have its own Bishop and likewise
for a Province, Archbishop. There is no longer any political
relationship between the Queen and the ABC and therefore no
intereference from them.
Read the 39 articles of religion for more insight. cheers.
