I hate links. How is it different from the Catholic church that Tony Blair converted to?

That should say believe, not belief. My bad.

To the last poster, I didn't see a name, thanks for the link, but I'm not interested in joining, I just wondered what they believed.

Anglican and Church of England are two different things!
The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, the "mother church" of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the oldest among the communion's nearly forty independent national churches.
The Church of England considers itself to be both catholic and reformed:
Catholic in that it views itself as being an unbroken continuation of both the early apostolic and later medieval universal church, rather than as a new formation. In its customs and liturgy it has retained more of that tradition than most other reformed churches.
Reformed insofar as many of the principles of the early Protestant reformers as well as the subsequent Protestant Reformation have influenced it. The Protestant reformation was not started by Henry the Eighth (it was around long before him)He just adopted that stance for personal gain (Divorce) and that led to the formation of the Church of England!
The doctrines of the Reformation can be summarized as a) the rejection of papal authority, b) rejection of some fundamental Roman Catholic doctrines, c) the priesthood of all believers, d) the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth, and e) the belief in justification by faith alone

Christianity. They believe almost as does the Roman Catholic Church except they don't recognize the Pope as Christ's main guy on earth.

That wanting a divorce is enough of a reason to start a new religion?

That divorce is ok. That is why it began in the first place.
