Hopefully zilch as it is a lot of bunkum.

When Pope Leo declared that the Anglican Church Priesthood was "utterly null and completely void " in the famous Papal Bull in the 1890's, the then Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York issued a reply. In it they confirmed the teaching of the "Presence of Christ" in the Eucharist.
My problem with the Anglican Church is that 2 people worshipping together at the same service can approach the Sacrament with completely different beliefs.
In the new worship liturgy, in all the Eucharistic Prayers, the Holy Spirit is invocated by the priest so that the gifts of bread and wine, may "be to us, the Body and Blood ".
Not a lot of point in bothering the Holy Spirit if the gifts are simply to remain bread and wine.

Everything from Transubstantiation to "Real Absence".
The 39 Articles,which are still the official standard for Anglican beliefs, denies the Eucharistic Real Presence.
However, most of the Anglicans I know( of whichever denomination) believe in the Real Presence in some form( like Consubstantiation ,etc)

Having been raised Anglican, I don't think they actually believe anything at all.

Anglican Vicar (to friend): Why don't you come to church?
Friend: Because I don't believe in God.
Anglican Vicar: Neither do I -- but it's a living.
