In some ways we do not have the Anglican model. As my Anglican friends point out, the Anglican church does not purport to ban the Book of Common Prayer: it is quite common for a large parish with several clergy to have a BCP service on Sunday alongside the more modern ones. And nobody convulses on the floor or catches fire at the very idea.

The difference is they also have a Vestry. Amazing what concord you get when the laity have some say.
