The Anglican church consists of several protestant churches all under the umbrella church of 'Anglicanism' including the Church of England, African churches, the Episopalian Church of Scotland, the Church in Wales etc. They are all main-stream Christian churches which accept the Bible as truth.
Taking the Church of England as a typical Anglican church, the clergy fall into deacons, priests and bishops (like the Roman Catholic Church) although the supreme governor of the church is the reigning monarch (at the moment HM Queen Elizabeth II) and the Head of the Church is Jesus Christ. The Church of England employs the parochial system - in other words the whole of England is split into areas called parishes which are overseen by a parish priest. Everyone in England, churchgoer or not, has a right to access of pastoral care by the parish priest and therefore the C of E is excellent in pastoral care and evangelism.
Doctrine is similar to other protestant churches. The church recognises baptism and Holy Communion as sacraments, and recognises the Bible as the true inspired Word of God. Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, the C of E does not accept the human-manufactured ideas of purgatory, the revering of the Virgin Mary, limbo, praying to saints, adoration of statues, priestly celibacy, and limiting priesthood to men only. In the Cof E women can become priests, and, in some Anglican churches (although the C or E has not adopted this yet), especially in Africa, women can become bishops.
The church adheres to the 39 articles of faith which can be found at http://anglicansonline.org/basics/thirty-nine_articles.html
