An Anglican clergyman is a member of the clergy within the Anglican Communion, a worldwide family of churches that trace their roots to the Church of England. These clergymen, often referred to as priests or ministers, are responsible for leading worship services, providing spiritual guidance, and performing sacraments such as baptisms and weddings. Anglican clergymen are typically educated in theology and may serve in various roles, including parish leaders, chaplains, or bishops. They follow the teachings of the Book of Common Prayer and uphold the traditions of the Anglican Church, emphasizing both scripture and reason in their ministry.
