I saw a lot of them in action, especially in the the beautiful Kings College chapel. I was brought up devout Catholic. I couldn't spot the difference in the ritual.

Unlikely, Anglicans tend to have more breeding than those dogmatic fundy and Christian-but-not-a member- of-a-church dropkicks we usually get here. No Tacky, I don't mean you. 
Welcome to the forums.
@pad, and no I don't take everything personal, nor am I the crusader for Christianity.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

You're right that some forms of Anglicanism look very much like Catholicism both in terms of belief and practice - they tend to be called "Anglo-Catholic". My church is the other end of the spectrum - low church (so very little "ritual" or liturgy) and pretty inclusive in terms of the range of views that people hold. We prefer inordinate amounts of tea, coffee and cake rather than sherry at my church, but of course we have our fair share of pillocks like any random group of people. :p Thanks tackattack! 
Hey Tim! Welcome, make yourself at home! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Thanks Kayenneh!
Tim:
Grab a cold one from the fridge and - by all means - let's talk. Believe it or not, even a sulphur-smelling heathen like me has some friends who happen to believe in an Old Man in the Sky (mostly Jews and Christians, a few Moslems). And I'm glad you are not planning on preachin' on this particular hillock; I think the regulars are heavily vaccinated against most popular strains of bullshit. But if you want to talk, let's talk (as in "ManU or Chelsea?" kinda talk.) Welcome
