=== Anglican Communion ===
According to the [[Anglican Covenant]], the [[archbishop of Canterbury]] is "first among equals" in his presidency over the [[Anglican Communion]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/99905/The_Anglican_Covenant.pdf|title=The Anglican Covenant|publisher=Anglican Communion Office|website=Anglican Communion Website}}</ref> The senior bishop of the seven diocesan bishops of the [[Scottish Episcopal Church]] bears the truncated title [[Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church|primus]] from {{lang|la|primus inter pares}}. Leading bishops or primates in other Anglican 'national' churches are often said to be {{lang|la|primus inter pares}} within their provinces (e.g. Church of Ireland), while the (first) primatial see of Canterbury remains primus among them.

However, on 20 February 2023, the [[Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches]] declared the Archbishop of Canterbury had lost its mantle of first among equals due to him accepting the [[Church of England]]'s incorporation into the [[Christian liturgy#Anglican Communion|Anglican liturgy]] of [[Blessing of same-sex unions in Christian churches|blessings of same-sex unions]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=McKeown |first=Jonah |date=23 February 2023 |title=Conservative Anglican leaders reject archbishop of Canterbury over same-sex union blessings |url=https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253715/anglican-leaders-reject-archbishop-of-canterbury-over-decision-to-bless-same-sex-couples |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=Catholic News Agency |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Rocca |first=Francis X. |title=Conservative Anglican Leaders Call for Break With Church of England Over Same-Sex Blessings |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/conservative-anglican-leaders-call-for-break-with-church-of-england-over-same-sex-blessings-7215b707 |access-date=2023-02-25 |date=20 February 2023|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-02-20 |title=Justin Welby rejected as leader by conservative Anglicans over same-sex blessings |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64711815 |access-date=2023-02-25|first1=Harry|last1=Farley}}</ref>

The International Anglican-Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission, in its 2007 agreed statement ''Growing Together in Unity and Mission,'' "urge[s] Anglicans and Catholics to explore together how the ministry of the Bishop of Rome might be offered and received in order to assist our Communions to grow towards full, ecclesial communion".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Commentary and study guide on Growing Together in Unity and Mission: An Agreed Statement by the International Anglican – Roman Catholic Commission for Unity and Mission |url=https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/104618/Paul-Richardson-commentary.pdf |website=Anglican Communion}}</ref>
