How often should you receive holy communion in Anglican church?

One should never receive Holy Communion more than once per week; otherwise there is a danger of becoming "Holier than Thou." Persons receiving Holy Communion with greater frequency tend to become devout, and once that happens there's just no living with them!

Do do you have to confess to having communion in the Anglican church?
Yes, if you attempted to participate in an Anglican Communion service, you have technically committed apostasy! You should not receive Holy Communion until you have been to confession.
Can a Church of England person receive communion in a Catholic Church?
No, a Catholic should not receive communion in anything but a Catholic Church.
Can a Catholic receive communion in Episcopalian church?
No.Episcopalians and any member of the Anglican communion (and I am an Anglican) would welcome a Roman Catholic at the Lord's table for communion, but the teaching of the Church of Rome dictates that Catholics should not receive in another denomination.However, if the Roman Catholic in question still wished to receive in the Episcopalian Church, against the teachings of his own church then he would not be refused the sacrament.Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics may not and can not receive Holy Communion in an Episcopal Church. They may not as receiving Communion means that you believe everything that the Church teaches, so receiving Communion in an Episcopal Church would be an act of apostasy. They can not as Pope Leo XIII in his Bull, Apostolicae Curae issued on 15 Sept 1896 ruled that Anglican (Episcopal) Orders were null and void: in other words, they do not have a valid priesthood and thus cannot confect the Eucharist.
Why do Church of England churches let Catholics take communion?
The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church." Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.
What is an anglian church?
You mean 'Anglican'. The Church of England is the original Anglican church, but many other denominations in other countries were originally planted by English Anglicans, and today are provinces of the worldwide 'Anglican Communion'. The Anglican churches are Protestant in beliefs (or should be, according to their doctrinal basis, the 39 Articles), but retain the Episcopal form of church government (i.e. bishops).
If your Roman Catholic can you go to a Church of England Church Service?
Officially, if you are not confirmed a Roman Catholic then you are excluded from receiving communion (mass) in the Roman Catholic Church. However, the Church of England is very different. Most CofE clergy will allow anyone who normally takes communion in their own church (whatever denomination) to take communion in a Church of England if they are, say, visiting. Very few clergy these days only allow confirmed Anglicans to take communion, and these tend to be in the churches with a more Catholic tradition akin to the Roman Church. In some more progressive Anglican churches, clergy will allow anyone to take communion as long as they come in faith, whatever denomination and whether confirmed or not. As a confession (!!) I have myself, as a member of the Church of England, received communion in a Catholic Church without the priest knowing that I was not a Catholic, at one time even at a mass presided over by Pope John Paul II. No doubt, had he known, I may well have been refused. I regarded, and still do, the receipt of communion a matter that resides solely between myself and God and so it should not have any dependence upon a man-made Church rule but on God's loving grace and a personal faith.
Can a man whose wife is not Catholic receive communion?
Yes, as long as you are not in a state of mortal sin. To be able to receive Holy Communion worthily one must not be in mortal sin, believe that the consecrated bread and wine are really the Body and Blood of Christ, and have fasted for one hour before receiving Holy Communion. If your wife is not Catholic, she may not receive Holy Communion, but you can. The above is absolutely true within the Catholic Church. However you can both receive communion if you attend a non-catholic Church (such as an Anglican Church) as Anglicans recognise any communicant member of any other denomination as having the right to receive communion within their own church.
Who formed anglicanism?
The Anglican Church has its roots in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. The Holy Ghost as much as anyone I should imagine! The Anglican Church is a Communion within the Catholic Church as is both Orthodoxy and Romanism! The name Anglican first appeared in 750 in Bede's History of Britain. It occured again in 1215 in the Magna Charter and was used during the middle ages to denote the Church during contact with Continental churches.
Frequency of communion service in the Methodist?
The United Methodist Church recommends Communion be served frequently. A recent resolution recommends weekly celebration of Communion. In practice, while more churches are moving to weekly communion, most churches celebrate Communion once a month.John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, recommended receiving The Lord's Supper as often as one could. Another answer It depends on the Methodist Church and the member. Some churches still have communion infrequently (monthly or less) and some members still only receive communion on special occasions (such as Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and so on). However, as stated above, many Methodist Churches are increasing the frequency of receiving communion, or 'The Lord's Supper'. This will bring them more into line with the Anglican Church (where communion is usually weekly) as a result of the Anglican/Methodist Covenant that makes the promise that the two denominations should work more closely together in the future, possibly resulting, one day, in a united Church.
How can a Catholic convert to the Church of England?
Just ask a priest at your local Anglican/Episcopal church. They will probably have a series of classes talks leading to confirmation/reception. If you have not been confirmed in the Catholic Church, they will confirm you at the end of that process. If you have been confirmed, you will be received by the Bishop at the end of that process.
Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.
Can Catholic receive communion outside Catholic church example at lutheran church?
Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.
