Definition: Anglicanism, a form of Protestantism founded in England during the Reformation, emphasizes church reforms and theological doctrine, often referred to as "isms" or "traditions." It shares some similarities with the Roman Catholic Church, but differentiates by embracing Anglican practices and teachings while maintaining a strong emphasis on individual conscience. The word "anglicanism" is derived from Latin "Angelicus," meaning "angelic," "sister," and "dialectical."
