As far as I know you can. I'm not Anglican, but I know in most Protestant churches anyone can receive.But the reason you can't in the Catholic Church is because it is actually the body and blood of Christ, whereas in the Anglican church, and all other non-Catholic Christian churches, it is only a memorial and symbol of his sacrifice.St. Paul says that he who eats and drinks, failing to discern the body and blood of Christ, calls judgment upon himself. These are serious words and the Catholic Church teaches that those who are not properly prepared should not receive. It is for your protection, not to exclude you. ------
