Anglican Church and Sola Fide
What's the Anglican Church's official position on the doctrine of Sola Fide. Is it officially accepted by the Anglican Church?

 * Note that there is an Anglican Communion of national churches, but not an Anglican Church which defines doctrine for everyone. Within each national church, there is a broad spectrum of traditions ranging from Evangelical at one end to Anglo-Catholic at the other, and within those strands, there are traditionalists and progressives. The Thirty-nine Articles which prescribe the Sola Fide doctrine are adhered to by some, but ignored others. Quoting from our article: "Each of the 44 member churches in the Anglican Communion is, however, free to adopt and authorise its own official documents, and the [Thirty-nine] Articles are not officially normative in all Anglican Churches (neither is the Athanasian Creed). The only doctrinal documents agreed upon in the Anglican Communion are the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed of AD 381, and the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral".
