...nor have I really seen Anglicanism as "Protestant," especially since I live in a nation where Protestantism largely follows the Puritan aesthetic. Though I do find it telling that I think of churches in their aesthetic capacity--churches as an art form, art within the churches, sermons as art, the rituals as mass performance art, and so on--and that may have something to do with my perception of Anglicanism generally. I see Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, and Eastern Orthodoxy as being similar formally and therefore mostly the same.
As an American and an Anglican myself, I'd like to say that I have no problem with your perception. :)
