What is Anglicanism? How is it different from other forms of Christianity, and how did it come to have so many different versions throughout the world?

In recent decades there has been a growing trend, particularly in Charismatic Anglican churches, towards abandoning formal liturgical worship. Influenced by Vineyard churches and a feeling that liturgical worship is unhelpful for mission, these churches have substituted this with a worship song-focused style and 'spontaneous', informal liturgy.
