[[File:Anglican_Theocracyf.png]] Anglicanism follows similar traditions to [[File:Catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|Roman Catholicism]] with the noted exception that Anglicans do not believe that the Pope is the sole religious Authority, instead believing in Prima Scriptura. Unlike most Protestant Denominations, Anglicans may worship the saints, however, the practice has died down in recent days. Its closeness to Catholicism has given Anglicans the nickname of "Anglo-Catholics."

[[File:Methodist_Theocracy.png]] Methodism (also commonly known as '''Wesleyanism''') is similar to Anglicanism, but without much of the Catholic tradition. Methodists differentiate from Anglicans, as they are more informal than Anglicans, and believe that individuals capable of spreading the word of God should be able to. Methodists are staunchly Arminían, believing that all can attain salvation simply through following Jesus Christ. Methodists also teach the ''Entire Sanctification'', a belief that one can be forgiven of all their sins, including that of ''Original Sin''. However, most believe this is only attainable after ones passing.
