Special occasion other than Anglican presumably? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'special occasion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'other than anglican presumably?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'anglican' could be 'ce' (Church of England) and 'ce' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'non' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nonce that I've seen before include "what you may call a one-off" , "Sex offender (in prison)" , "particular occasion" , "The occasion, time being" , "The moment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
