in the uk? the anglican church. generally in the west? whatever lutheran, protestant, or catholic denomination is approved by the state. generally? the main church of that country, which for most of them is in a 90/10 sort of situation, with some notable exceptions, like the us, which shouldn’t be counted because a) it’s such a small part of the world’s population and b) their view of religion is so screwed up that it doesnt compare to anything.
Anglicanism only makes up a portion of British Churches. There are also Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Methodist and various independent congregational churches.
Only Roman Catholicism is truly centralised at a pope. Anglicanism tends to stop at the Archbishop or the Primate. Which the UK has four. The Episcopal Church of Scotland, the Church in Wales, the Church of England and the Church of Ireland which also operates in the Republic of Ireland, but the majority of adherents are in Northern Ireland.
What’s that central entity?

you do understand where i’m coming from though?
There is a misconception that the Church has a central earthly authority surrounding it. It doesn’t. Christ is the head of the Church.
yeah but he’s not really around much
I think He’s doing a lot of work in Asia now. Probably done with the westerners. They had their chance LOL
i think we’d heard about a second coming by now
also that’s some typical absentee landlord behavior
They were waiting longer for Him to come the first time, soooo
