    The three orders of ordained ministry, always following apostolic succession, are bishops, priests and deacons. These orders are the same as the Catholic church.

    Some Anglican churches in the world have "archbishops" or "presiding bishops" but these are simply bishops of a higher rank and juridiction. They are still bishops.

    We also recognized laity confirmed by a bishop as a fourth (but not lesser) order of ministry.

    See the U.S. Book of Common Prayer, pp. 855-6, for proper definitions of the ministers.

    Aside of that, there are rectors, vicars, canons, deans -- but these will still be among the bishops, priests and deacons.

    I am an Anglican and in my church we have Vicars and Assistant Vicars (Vicar runs the community-based church, similar role to that of a Catholic priest), then we also have Deacons (Vicars who are recognized as having great leadership and biblical teaching), Bishops (regional heads) and Archbishops (head of particular states/countries). At the head of the Anglican church is the Queen of England. For more info check out: http://www.melbourne.anglican.com.au/ for a user-friendly website on Anglican beliefs and systems.
