I'm not Leroy, but since you asked "evident that a single authority - e.g., papal - inherited from St. Peter and his successors - is necessary for true preservation from error?"

er, well the Anglican Communion exists because of abuses of papal authority in establishing errors... Besides remember that the episcopal church not only does NOT accurately reflect Anglican theology, but also has been largely cut off from the rest of the Anglican Communion as more and more Provinces (that's what we call our geographic area defined portions of the Anglican Communion) have been and are continuing to distance themselves, even at significant cost to themselves.
