Anglican Denomination - Founded in 1534 by King Henry's Act of Supremacy, the roots of Anglicanism go back to one of the main branches of Protestantism that came about after the 16th century Reformation.
During the reign of King Edward, a power struggle emerged between English Protestants and Catholics. Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer contributed a great deal to the reforms away from Catholicism with two versions of the Book of Common Prayer and the 42 Articles of 1553.
Protestantism still struggled in England until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I when Anglicanism finally took shape. The 42 Articles were reduced to 39 and the Book of Common Prayer was reissued. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Anglicanism was typified by an emphasis on reason, moral living and simple religious devotion. By the late 1600's the Church of England settled into the Anglican structure that still characterizes it today.

The roots of Anglicanism go back to one of the main branches of Protestantism that emerged from the Reformation.

Most other Anglican churches do not agree with this commission. * Book of Common Prayer - Anglican practices and rituals are

    In 1559 Queen Elizabeth 1 of England passed two acts as part of the Church Settlement: The Act of Supremacy and The Act of Uniformity. With these acts she aimed to unite her countries people and avoid rebellion from each religious group. At first it seemed to have worked: The new Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker (a moderate protestant) was popular with most people; Only 250 out of 9000 priests refused to take the oath of loyalty to the new Church; the fines for recusancy were not strictly enforced and there were no serious protests or rebellions. By 1568 most people had accepted the new Church.…

    In New England, the Anglicans seemed to have become more relax. The Church of England was most commonly referred to as Anglicans; it became the official language of Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and a part of New York. The main purpose of the religion was so that the English Government could monitor those in the colonies. In the Americas though, the church failed to live up to expectations.

    The faith of Anglicans is founded in the scriptures, the traditions of the apostolic church, the apostolic succession ("historic episcopate") and the early Church Fathers.[1] Anglicanism forms one of the branches of Western Christianity; having definitively declared its independence from the Roman pontiff at the time of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, in what has been otherwise termed the British monachism.[4][5] Many of the new Anglican formularies of the mid-16th century corresponded closely to those of contemporary Reformed Protestantism and these reforms in the Church of England were understood by one of those most responsible for them, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, as navigating a middle way between two of the emerging Protestant traditions, namely Lutheranism and Calvinism.[6] By the end of the century, the retention in Anglicanism of many traditional liturgical forms and of the episcopate was already seen as unacceptable by those promoting the most developed Protestant principles.…

    In the same year a return to conservatism was outlined by the Act of Six Articles. This was, to put it most simply, a direct reinforcement of Catholic doctrine as the basis of faith for the English church. For example, the first article encourages transubstantiation and the third states, "that priests after the order or Priesthood received, as afore, may not marry, by the law of God ". Both of these were extremely catholically orientated and indeed it was highlighted in the Six Articles that refusal to adopt the articles would result in a charge of heresy, resulting in one's execution by hanging. Some would argue that this action was supported more by Henry's wife, Catherine Howard, who was a member of the conservative and Catholic Norfolk faction at court. Yet, Henry must have accepted this to some extent in order for this legislation to pass.…
