Well, thanks for the sharp eye on spelling! Now you are making me nervous:). .
And yes i was generalizing about Anglicans, but they are one denom and are quite low in stats on Bible reading*, while non-Catholics are very diverse, and many are not necessarily Protestant, as defined by its core essentials.
But in my correction of his characterization i think i made it clear that those who hold to SS do not negate the need and warrant for the Church and its authority and teaching office. The issue is between an autocratic type which itself is effectively superior authority over the Bible due to its assured infallibly claim, versus one that manifests its subjection to the Scriptures, and its means of establishing doctrine.
As for the divisions, the really ugly ones are caused by carnality, like as was the case in Paul’s day, while men like Wesley and Whitefield - who were strongly opposed to each other on the issue of election (the principal cause of division today) - showed that they could both work, even together, in bringing souls to be saved by the same gospel of the grace of God (versus that souls have truly merited eternal life by those very works which have been done in God).
And today such divisions yet work the same, and evangelicals manifest a remarkable trans-denominational unity of the Spirit, although worldliness is increasing across all denoms, and i must overcome better myself (including news mongering on FR ).

Well, all right, but Jesus' comment that "You will recognize them by their fruits," is applicable here.
It is an interesting and telling phenomenon that the doctrine of Sola Scriptura has led to such extensive fragmentation; and that fragmentation seems more likely the tighter a denomination holds to Sola Scriptura.
As a means of "establishing doctrine" the evidence strongly suggests that Sola Scriptura does not produce agreement on doctrine; indeed, quite the opposite -- a result that seems quite inimical to idea of the Church as the Body of Christ.
