Separatists believed that the Church of England was "unsalvageable," because there were still too many Catholic customs in practice, and should be done away with completely. Therefore the Separatists distanced themselves from the church and focused on simple, Biblical living.

Did King James want the pilgrims to leave?

King James I did not actively want the Pilgrims to leave England; in fact, he sought to maintain religious conformity within his kingdom. The Pilgrims, who were Separatists seeking to escape the Church of England's practices, faced persecution and ultimately decided to emigrate in search of religious freedom. While he tolerated some dissent, the King aimed to suppress movements that challenged his authority and the established church. Thus, their departure was more a result of their own convictions than a direct desire from King James for them to leave.


Does Anglican Church have ministrants?

Yes, they call them bishops, priests, and deacons, after the Catholic Church. When Henry VIII separated from the Holy Father and formed his own personal Church, which he then imposed on the nation, most of the people making his church up were very protestant in their leanings, but, probably to avoid causing an uproar in a Catholic population which did not want to leave the Church, they left externals as much as possible with their heretical beliefs.
