'The magisterial-kingdom aspect of Anglicanism'

There is a comprehensiveness to the time-tried Anglican path that engages the larger cultural, political and public spheres, hence the magisterial-kingdom aspect of Anglicanism - if this element of Anglicanism is ignored or marginalized, a serious domesticating and thinning out of the Anglican heritage occurs.

(The picture is of a stained glass window in the Church of the Ascension, Hamilton, Ontario - one of a series of windows celebrating Canadian Anglican pioneers.  This window shows Loyalists settling in Canada after the Revolutionary War.  Bishops Charles Inglis and James Stewart look on, symbolising their role in the establishment of Anglicanism in British North America, shaping culture and polity.)
