The Anglican chruch is not an official established church. Members of the Church of England are called Anglicans. The Church of England is headed by the King of England while the Roman Catholic Church is headed by a pope. During King Henry's reign he removed the pope and announced himself as the head of a very little reformed church called the Church of England. People who were called Puritans sought to reform the Church of England of its catholic aspects. The Congregational Church grew out from the Purtian Church.
