What are thediffrences between the religions of christiannity and the Church of England?

Answer 1

ANSWER 1: The Church of England is the ANGLICAN church. In the United States, the Anglican Church is the Episcopal Church; and so, then, there is no difference between the Church of England and Christianity. The Church of England is about as Christian as it gets.

However, that said, if you are a Roman Catholic who believes that Rome is the See of "the one and only true Christian church," and that all other churches are mere "also rans," then there is, for you, a difference, indeed, between Christianity and the Church of England. There isn't, of course, but if you think so, then so be it.

The Church of England traces its roots to the Roman Catholic mission to England of St Augustine of Canterbury in 597 AD. Over 900 years later, when King Henry the VIII got into an argument with Rome over the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, the then Roman Catholic churches in England all became part of the new Church of England which officially separated from Rome. A person attending church back in those days, though, would see little difference. The Church of England, to the unpracticed eye, looked and behaved nearly the same as the Roman Catholic Church... as it does, in many respects, to this day. The biggest difference was, simply, that the Church of England no longer acknowledged the supremacy of Rome. That was pretty much, at that time, the biggest difference.

Under Queen Mary, in 1555, the Church of England was placed back under the Authority of Rome; but Queen Elizabeth I would have no part of it, and by 1558 the Church of England was independent of Rome once again... where it has stayed ever since.

The Church of England is, then, entirely Christian... as Christian as Roman Catholicism. There are few differences; and what differences there are would take longer to explain than there's room for, here.
