Responding to Guyer’s Theses on Anglicanism Part 3

I recently came across Guyer's Weblog and wish to respond to his Theses on Anglicanism all  42 of them 1 by one.

III. Anglicanism must re-conceive itself as a portion of the catholic Church that was once monarchical, but is now post-monarchical.  Anglicanism has yet to conceive of itself as post-monarchical, and it cannot do this until it understands what it meant for it to have once been monarchical.

At one level I must agree with this, the Anglican Communion needs to understand more deeply its history in order to conceive its future. However, I do not think that the Roman Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church is post-monarchical. I also wonder if this in turn would challenge the role of Bishops in the church?

I think the Anglican Communion very much like the British Commonwealth need to work out what holds it together now that several generations have past since Colonisation the similarities between the mother and the daughters are now different as the daughters are now defining themselves. It means that though the mother is still honoured it has to move from a position of superiority to being one amongst equals. I think this also means for Anglicanism we need to see that each Diocese is indeed the base unit and each is equal with the other.
