It depends on what colony you are interested in. There was no real central government until after the Revolutionary War was over. The Bill of Rights was the first true national disestablishment of the Anglican Church (and all churches for that matter) as it provided for religious freedom. States reacted to the Anglican Church's influence differently before the Revolutionary War.

Are the Catholic and Anglican churches similar in building and belief?

The Anglican Church is the catholic Church in this country!As for the Buildings, they are of a similar type usually! Though in many cases the Anglican Churches are much older in style because of the greater antiquity of the Anglican Church.In belief both Churches claim catholicity, but again Anglican beliefs go back to the ancient Catholic Church of the first thousand years and the teachings of the catholic fathers! Whilst the Holy Roman Church, the new boy on the block, its faith was strongly influenced by the Council of TrentI assure you, Roman Catholics are not Anglican, and the first responder uses catholic in it's meaning as universal. Although we believe we are the one true church , we do not belabor people of other faiths publicly. England was Catholic before it was Anglican, as were many other countries before the Reformation. We think they doth PROTEST too much.Everyone has free will, and not be browbeaten into agreeing with anyone else.

Is the Westminster a Catholic or Anglican church?

Both, Westminster Cathedral is the Catholic Cathedral for the diocese and Westminster Abbey, which was stolen from the Church by Henry VIII is now an Anglican worship center..Answer. Westminster Abbey is an Anglican church, Westminster Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church. Westminster Abbey was originally a Catholic church/monastery started by the Benedictine Monks. In 1539 the Catholic monks were thrown out. In 1556 Queen Mary restored them to their rightful place. In 1556 Queen Elizabeth (who was never the true inheritor of the throne) threw the monks out again and made the abbey Protestant..


How does an Episcopalian view the Virgin Mary?

An episcopalian, being an Anglican, adheres to the 39 Articles of faith as set down when the Church of England (the original Anglican Church) was formed in the 1500s. In Article 22 it states: "The Romish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God." In other words, praying to saints is a real no-no. Although there are some within the Anglican Church who still think in the old 'Catholic' way, the vast majority of the Anglican Church regards Mary as worthy of some respect, but refuses to believe in her as some form of intercessor or 'go-between' in prayer as the Catholics do, as praying to saints is forbidden by this article. Furthermore, whilst in the more Catholic wing of the Anglican Church you may still find the occasional statue of Mary, and small chapels within churches dedicated to her, most of these are relics from before the Anglican church was formed. And in no way would an Anglican venerate (or is it almost worship?) Mary in the same way as a Roman Catholic would.

What are the differences between Anglicanism and Protestantism?

The answer depends on which denomination of Christianity you have in mind. If you are thinking of Christian doctrine, in general, Anglican theology is very similar to that of the other American Christian churches. Anglicans believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and established the Christian Church, the belief in heaven as the afterlife reward for "Christian behavior", the "Golden Rule", and that everyone has a duty to assist other people in need. The King James Bible is the basis for sermons at the Sunday services.
