The Anglican Communion as a whole, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, does not have a centralized Canon law of its own. Each of the autonomous member churches of Anglicanism, however, does have a canonical system. Some, such as the Church of England have an ancient, highly-developed canon law while others, such as the Episcopal Church in the United States have a less-refined system.
