Oh, sorry, I thought we were playing the religion game. If we were, I would have won.

What are some of the big differences? | When I say "Anglican" I mean that they (the Puritans) belonged to the Established Church of England, but sought to purify it of its "corruptions", until it was no longer possible for them to stay in it.
The main differences between Episcopalians and Presbyterians is that the former deny the regulative principle of worship and church government. Moreover, Episcopalians tend to be Erastian - allowing the church to be state-controlled, while Presbyterians believe the church and state are independent, but have duties to each other as separate spheres of authority under Christ the king. |

Some may also affirm the Lambeth Articles, but not many. Church Society - Issues - Anglican Doctrine - What is Anglicanism
I think that Daniel has confused Anglicanism with the Church of England concerning our Establishment principle. We could also argue at length over a number of issues but I will not do so here.
