While I have a different view on the continuity of Anglicanism from its roots in Celtic Christianity, seeing it as a current (often quiet or subtle, even underground at times) through English speaking Christianity, older than all of those Celtic crosses; conversations like this are wonderfully edifying and make posting all of these threads worthwhile.
Growing up I never noticed anything particularly Orthodox about Anglicanism though the old people always said that it was “English Orthodoxy”. What I did know was that the Anglican priests in town were friends of the family, another was a neighbor at our summer cottage and the chaplain at my prep school was an Episcopal priest (a wonderful man with a wonderful wife...they are still wonderful!). In all honesty this sort of Orthodox subtext I’ve seen in Anglicanism comes from maybe the past 20 years seeing converts into Orthodoxy from TEC and for the past few years reading Anglican writings here and elsewhere on the internet and interacting with people like you guys.
You know where else I see more or less the same Orthodox foundations? Conservative Lutheranism and for the same reasons.
Each and every local custom (like the Padstow Hobby Horse, or the Mummer Plays, or the Britannia Coconut Dancers) is always assigned roots in the dim, dark, British past, where blue-painted Britons and gold-torqued Druids roam amid ancient dolmens.
Don't get me wrong, it's charming and I love it, it's so quintessentially English. But it exists quite independent of and even despite any historical evidence.
