Anglicans, when an non-Anglican receives Holy Communion, did that person brought judg
I heard that the Anglican Church also believes in Transubstantiation. what will happen if a non-Anglican and not even a Catholic receives Holy Communion?
or has that person brought judgment upon himself/herself?

thank you so much for answering!!! I know Father K would've answered, but... oh well... maybe that's how it really goes here. but I really appreciate your answer, I really do!
by the way, if I may ask, why aren't you allowing any contacts anymore? sorry if I have to ask... but I have been wondering about it. =P
thank you so much for the link! =)
oh. yeah, I know what you mean. we can never tell who will be the next target of "that" group.
As I understand it, the Anglican Communion holds to Consubsantiation rather than Transubstantiation , which is to say, spiritual presence, not actual transformation.
During the reign of Henry VIII, the official teaching of the Anglican Church was identical with the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine, in defense of which the king wrote a book for which the Pope rewarded him with the title of Defender of the Faith. Under his son, Edward VI, the Anglican Church accepted a more Protestant theology, and directly opposed transubstantiation. Elizabeth I, as part of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, gave royal assent to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, which sought to distinguish Anglican from Roman Church doctrine. The Articles, declared: "Transubstantiation (or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine) in the Supper of the Lord, cannot be proved by holy Writ; but is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture, overthrowing the nature of a Sacrament, and hath given occasion to many superstitions."
Anglicans generally consider no teaching binding that, according to the Articles, "cannot be found in Holy Scripture or proved thereby." Consequently, some Anglicans (especially Anglo-Catholics and High Church Anglicans) accept Transubstantiation, while others do not. In any case, the Articles are not considered binding on any but Church of England clergy, especially for Anglican Churches other than the Church of England.
official writings of the Churches of the Anglican Communion have consistently upheld belief in the Real Presence. Some recent Anglican writers explicitly accept the doctrine of transubstantiation, or, while avoiding the term "transubstantiation", speak of an "objective presence" of Christ in the Eucharist. On the other hand, others hold views, such as consubstantiation or "pneumatic presence", close to those of Reformed Protestant Churches.
Too bad a select group had Fr K deleted - he could have answered!!
EDIT: i FOUND THIS...The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize Anglican orders and therefore does not feel that it is right for Catholics to receive communion in Anglican churches.
With the exception of the Rites that are in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, "under no circumstances" is it allowed for a Roman Catholic to receive communion from ministers who are not of the Roman Catholic faith.
Defending the position of the Roman Catholic Church on the subject of inter-communion since December, 1997, His Eminence, Dr Desmond Connell, the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin, stated that "under no circumstances" is it permissible for a Roman Catholic believer to receive communion from a Protestant minister. His statement, which is to be praised for openly speaking the truth in defense of the Roman Catholic faith, was based on Canon Law # 844.1.
Here is a link to those in communion with Rome.

Spiritroaming's answer is excellent. I wasn't aware that even the Anglican's theological understanding of the Eucharist may be flawed.
The Anglican Church is certainly closer to the original Church established by Jesus than most Protestant organizations. In general, you could say that the sects that separated directly from Catholicism (e.g., Anglicans, Lutherans) retained a more complete understanding of the doctrines, practices, and sacraments taught by Jesus.
Nonetheless, Anglican priests are not validly ordained by apostolic succession. They have no direct descent from the original Church. Thus, their sacraments cannot be given with the authority of Jesus. For this reason, a Catholic who participated in Anglican communion would be enacting a parody of the true sacrament, which could certainly bring judgment.
If a Protestant non-Anglican practices ANY kind of communion, he too likely furthers his estrangement from God. For Jesus taught quite adamantly in John 6 that the sacrament is his actual body and blood, and he was quite clear on who had the authority to administer this sacrament--Peter, the other apostles, and their appointed successors (Matt 16:18, 18:18).
I am a Catholic in good standing, but as a layman, I certainly don't have the authority to virtually command God, "Let your Spirit come upon these gifts to make them holy, so that they may become for us: the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ." That is an awesome responsibility entrusted to a very few good men who have made a vast sacrifice to carry on Christ's work.
Henery the VIII as all of England was Roamn catholic. He tried to talk Luther out of Luther's sin, and was thus a defender of the faith. He want way out to try and save Luther.
eventually, since Th Pope would not grant hi ma divorce, he broke from the catholic church, started the church of England, took all private property from the church, devoured teh woamn and had her beheaded, "It's good to be the King" He was excummincatedand thus no longer a dfender of the faith. Priorto that time as with Luther the King was a devout Catholic, but the Pope wouldn't do it his hignesse's way, so "he took his ball and went home."
It's my undertsanding having studyied anglicanism and been and epsicpalian the us arm of the anglican cmmunion or chuch of england. The offical name is th eEpsicopal church of the United States of America. The epsicopal church having distanced it self but not separting from the anglican church during the revoultionary war, the partiorts could not very well have attened the church of england during the revoultion. It still remains aglican and recognizes the Archbishop of cantebury as spiritual leader,and the Queen of course, I guess they are dual leaders.
It's my understanding that the church of the frigedair or fridged Hier can also be known as the burger king (or have it your way) church, becauseteh sacraments mean anythng you want them to. Hey if you want communion or the lord's supper as they call it to be transubsatniated, or consubstaciated, or barley symbolic (as the fundies), or just a free meal. Heyit's all right it's what ever you believe. They bend over backwards to accomodate all belifs. Your homosexual and practicing, living in sin as the founder Henry VIII, hey it's ok come on down.
What they believe about confession -- all may, non must, some should. Heyt have it your way. many in the congregation of described themselves as light beer. We are catholic lite, all teh tradition but none of the guilt. So, if a church that was stared by a monarch, that broke away from the one true universal chruch based on living in sin and murder where you as the founder did can have it your way then come on down.
According to them anyone can take communion there, but of course it's not commonium, something that can mean anything, really means nothing. If it stands for everything it really stands for nothing.
BTW the preists bishops, cannons, i have met in the episcopal church are wonderful kind giving loving people, who i belive do love jsus in their own way.
But don't think of their bishops as catholic bishops. they have no fromal power, they are completely symbolic,. The real power lies with the indviidual parish pastors and councils.
Eucharistic beliefs in the Anglican Church range from Transubstantion to Bare Memorial.
Article28 of the 39 Articles condemns transubstantiation and the presence is more of a Calvinist view"only after heavenly and spiritual manner". Many modern Anglicans see this"spiritual manner" as permitting a full "Peal Presence'
Most Anglican churches practice open communion for baptized Christian without regard for particular beliefs in the Eucharist.
Some Anglican parishes and congregations are very strong in teaching Transubstantiation and the Sacrifice of the Mass and in practicing Eucharistic Benediction and Adoration
Many Anglicans take1 Cor11 seriously but others do not.
If the Eucharist is a mere symbol then St Paul was more than a little extreme that the unbelieving and irreverent"eat and drink judgment to themselves"
It was demanded by civil law from the mid sixteenth cent to the 19Th that everyone must take Communion in England at Eastertime or be fined
Public serious sinners would be excluded from Communion but now in many places that we be considered outre' and rude and excluding(which latter it was intended to be).
