Henry not to be denied his desire, agreed to create a new church, one the monarchy (that is him) would be head of instead of Pontiff (Pope). Thus the English Church and Reformation was born. While the Reformation in Germany was started by Monk named Martin Luther and 95 Thesis, the English Church was born by one man's lust and 95 impatient days. Since Henry, the Anglican Church has been a middle way between Radical Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. Many Anglican Churches vary from being convervative and almost Lutheran and Evangelical to being more liberal and Catholic in liturgy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trend seems to be to chuck the Bible and even the 39 Articles. They don't care so much about what you believe as long as you adhere to the ritual. My hope is that I am wrong. The Episcopal has followed the lead of the Church of England in ordaining gays and lesbians to the clergy. This breaks my heart. We need to pray for revival in that church. I am encouraged when I see so many joining Worthy from countries that are predominantly Anglican. God has a remnant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anglican Church is split on these concessions to the world as is The Lutheran and Presybeterian Churches. All of them have schismed into progressive-rainbow-liberal churches and traditional-bible-conservative churches. I like what you’ve said. There is remnant in all churches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
