Official Anglican responses at the time were muted and polite, albeit spoken through gritted teeth. Subsequent reflection has been tinged with bitterness. Ecumenism discovered that dialogue sometimes needs to be polemical after all.

What may be true of the churches of the Anglican Communion generally may not be true of the Church of England, the most ancient—together with the Church of Ireland—of Anglican churches and historically the mother church of the Anglican Communion.

But, strangely enough, we find theologians and church leaders using this sociological term when they are speaking in a theological or ecclesiological register, and that seems unfortunate. Let me come clean: “denomination” is not a word that I use. I do not refer to my own church, the Church of England, as a denomination, nor do I describe the Anglican Communion as a denomination.
