An Anglican church is a space used for masses, prayer, and religious ceremonies by the Anglican or Episcopalian faiths.
Anglican and Episcopal identify related forms of the same church tradition. Common prayer and sacramental worship are characteristic, but the style of a particular service can vary between congregations.
An Anglican church can resemble a Roman Catholic church in its architecture or liturgy. The worshipping community's Anglican or Episcopal affiliation establishes this use, which is not confined to churches located in England.
