I went to a wonderful concert tonight at Newchurch.

Opera North and Dickens, all by candle light in this beautiful gothic church, with the wind howling around outside. Very atmospheric and Christmasy.

It was a beautiful place, lots of carved wooden flying buttresses and statues and gold. I assumed it was a Catholic church, especially as it was called St Nicholas's. On trying to find out when it was built (1511) I came across their website. It says it's 'modern Catholic' and 'part of the Anglican communion'.

Anyone know what that means, because I'm lost?
