The first time I heard the word "Anglican"

The first time I heard the word "Anglican" somewhat randomly came to mind today.

One of the first times I saw Monty Python's Flying Circus, there was the Ron Obvious sketch. In it, Ron Obvious tries, among other things, to eat a cathedral. When he is about to begin his attempt, John Cleese as a breathless announcer says Mr. Obvious will now attempt to "eat an entire Anglican cathedral."

I had no idea what "Anglican" was. I was a young teenager, and it went completely over my head.

Of course a few years ago, I still didn't know what "Anglican" was.
