Basically, its 'identity politics.' The Church of England thought people in a particular area - called a Parish - should join and worship as one there (a territorial basis then). Separatist, on the other hand believed that the foundation of the church was God's Spirit, not man or the state. These then believed in a 'gathered church' where 'Christians' would reach out to other like-minded worshippers and come together as one church.

IN the USA, two groups of 'separatists' settled here in the early 17th Century AD - Puritans who wished to change their mother Church of England from within and not separate; and the Pilgrims who wished to separate fully. These two groups began to cooperate together and eventually, the Puritans accepted the new congregational form of government, joined together to form the Congregationist in the USA.

What did the Puritans views and attitudes lead them to strive for?

Puritans were followers of the teachings of Calvin and believed, like the Separatists, that man was born in sin and they all bore the guilt of Adam and Eve. To become saved, they would have to prove they were worthy while here on earth. To be worthy one would prosper, be faithful, and lead a successful life. Instead of separating from the Church of England, they wanted to “purify” the Church of the influence of the Catholic Church within the Anglican Church, thus the name, Puritans. Puritans wanted to remove themselves from non-Puritans. They originally wanted to leave Great Britain because they were not pleased with the way non-Puritans were worshipping without much interference.

What happened to the monasteries under the act of dissolution?

Taking advantage of the sweep of reformation taking place in Europe during the 16th century, Henry VIII declared all of the property of the Roman Catholic Church to be turned over to the crown and many of the buildings were destroyed and the land was turned over to favorites of the crown and taxed by the crown. The official church became the Church of England ruled by the king and it became increasingly oppressive to any who dissented with the King's religious views. The Cathedrals were all saved and turned into Church of England temples.

What religion was William Shakspeare?

Shakespeare belonged to the Church of England, as did everyone else in England. He was baptised on April 26, 1564, and was married and buried in the same church. Of course, he might have had some unorthodox views, but if he did, he wisely kept them to himself. People who expressed those kinds of views in those days were asking to be invited to a barbeque with a stake not a steak.
