In my experience of the Anglican Church (which may not be the same as yours) you could be a complete heretic and still remain an Anglican in good standing. There is absolutely no guarding of the chalice (for the sake of those who would be communing unworthily) so it seems to me that there is no real belief that the bread and wine become Christ's body and blood. If there was, they would be a lot more careful about who they allowed to receive.
yep, John Shelby Spong denies the Incarnation, the Resurrection, thinks St Paul was a sexist homophobe, and was never defrocked or deposed. in fact, many Anglicans, to include folks I know from when I grew up, think he is a necessary voice for the "modern" Church.
