The state of the Church when Henry died was probably one of relief, like coming out from under a wrecked building! But at least the Church in England was intact and whole. It had retained the ancient faith of the apostles and apostolical orders as well and they had survived after their clash with the pope and denying his right to interfere in English religious matters. More over the threat from Lutheranism still loitered, but was not as strong as formerly!

There were other dangers, the new king was young and appeared to have leanings towards Calvinism and around him were gathered the corrupt side of English politics the Seymours and that strange world of the Council where nothing mattered but the aggrandisement of family,even at the expense of religion and country!

Luckily the English Church lived through it, because the Church was the Body Of Christ and the majority of the people believed !
