Anglican refers to the Church of England and member churches of the Anglican Communion globally. This category reflects historical events. All religious occupations in England prior to the 1534 Act of Supremacy and in Scotland prior to the 1560 Act were Catholic and should be categorized as such.

There are three basic levels of ordination in Anglicanism: bishop, priest and deacon. A bishop can perform all the Anglican sacraments. Member churches of the Anglican Communion group their parishes into dioceses for administrative purposes. Most Anglican bishops are assigned to oversee a specific diocese in a member church of the Anglican Communion. See Wikipedia: Anglican ministry.

Anglican bishops are usually categorized according to the specific bishopric they held in a particular member church of the communion.
