Doctrinal differences between Methodist & Episcopal/Anglican?

[BookofMatt]

I feel lazy asking a "what's the difference between..." question, but I'm having a tough time grasping the black-and-white differences between Methodists and Episcopalians/Anglicans. I'm aware the former is an offshoot of the latter, but every answer I find online highlights only the similarities without providing any core differences in belief.

The difference in liturgy and practice is clear, but what about doctrine? I'm familiar with the basic beliefs, but where in the "fine print", so to speak, do both denominations distinctly differ from one another?

Historic Methodism emphasized a personal relationship with God and consequently was Arminian in its theology, although in its origins George Whitefield, who was much more prominent in the movement, was Calvinistic in his beliefs. He was supplanted by John Wesley who was decidedly Arminian. Historic Anglicanism is Reformed in its doctrine. If you read the 39 Articles, which is the foundational theological treatise for Anglicanism, you will see that it is thorougly Reformed. As a result, Anglicanism had little use for the Arminianism of Wesley.

Contemporary Methodism is liberal in its theology, which an emphasis on the Social Gospel. Anglicanism, by contrast, is liberal, as well, for the most part, with significant elements of evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics.
