On Salvation Jesus taught very firmly the idea
of being converted to him not a Church.
Jesus commanded, "Verily, Verily I say unto you, unless a man is born again he shall not see the Kingdom of God"
We are all sinners, dead in our sins so Christ recognized the need for every person to accept him as both Lord and Savior, died for our sins and rose again. Now he has commanded all men women and children to repent trust in him, to understand the need for salvation through himself alone, to gain entrance into his kingdom (which is not of this world)
If you reject our Lord gracious offer, you will be "Bound hand and foot" and tossed into "outer darkness, where there is weeping and gashing of teeth"
I would accept Jesus gracious offer and become his child today!

Who started the Anglican church and how?
== == The Anglican Church (the Church of England) is the historical continuation of the Christian Church that was started in the early centuries of Christianity. In the reign of King Henry VIII the Church of England began to separate from being under the jurisdiction of the Pope. This was a culmination of a number of schisms involving the Eastern Church, and the protestant movement that was begun in Germany by Martin Luther to protest at what was seen as corruption in the Catholic Church. After alltercations between Henry and the pope, not least the pope's refusal to grant Henry a divorce, he decided too to break away from Rome to form his own church - the church of England, with Christ at its head (and not the Pope) and himself and every subsequent monarch as the Supreme Governor on earth, with the Archbishop of Canterbury as spiritual head. == ==
Did Henry VII have a reason to break with the church?
Is this question about Henry the 8th or the 7th? Henry the 8th broke with the Catholic church simply because the Vatican would not allow an annulment of his marriage with Catherine of Aragon.
What arguments does the Church put forth for not having women priests?
God says men are to rule over women: Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
That man was created first, and woman came from man: Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
That the line of authority in the Bible is from God the Father to Christ to man to woman last of all: 1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
That women are more likely to be deceived: 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
That a woman is not to usurp authority over man: 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. [All KJ version]
These are the Biblical reasons for men being in authority over women. The Roman Catholic church uses these verses to show why women can't be priests, and the Church of England uses them to show why women can't be bishops, but they are not the only churches which do this.
When were women allowed to become priests?
I hate to disagree with my fellow answerer below but the church is NOT trying to put down women in anyway. This is a complicated issue, but there are a couple things that one must understand. We as a church did not make this rule, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did: we are only following what we have been taught.
Further, one must understand the role of women and the role of priests to understand that it is no slight and that there is no putting men ahead of women because of this. The church honors women far more than any other organizations. The Popes themselves are "servants of the servants of God". They are, all of them, just servants who are going to be judged much more harshly then the rest of us due to the fact that they have taken on the responsibility of representing Christ to the world. Women, on the other hand, starting with the Blessed Virgin are extremely honored in their own right. The honor show to a priest is actually honor show to Christ whose representative he is. Far from showing honor to women, the attempt at ordaining a woman does nothing but show dishonor to the Almighty, and His Laws.
Anglican orders were ruled invalid by the Pope back in the 19th century due to a lack in the ordination ceremony itself. It has nothing to do with the apostolic succession, it has to to with lack of proper form and intention. One must have the intention to validly ordain a sacrificing priest for a sacrificial priesthood, and one must use the proper words in doing so. The only one with authority to rule in this matter is Christ Himself, and his appointed emissary, the Holy Father.
Another answer:
However, most other denominations are not quite so mysoginistic and ordain women. In the Anglican Church women have been ordained priests since the 1990s, and they enjoy absolute equality with male priests in the same church. Some Anglican Churches have female bishops too. However Roman Catholics rather illogically refuse to accept the priesthood of any Anglican (male or female) as valid, despite both churches' ability to trace back their roots to apostolic succession, and both churches' doctrine on the priesthood and on Trinitarian belief being virtually identical.
Other protestant denominations, such as the Reformed Church or Methodists have had women ministers (they are not called 'priests' but fulfil the same sacramental role) for decades or even longer.
Some denominations do not have a 'priesthood' as such (or even ordained ministry) but have church leaders. one such group, the Salvation Army, has had women leaders ('officers') since its conception in the 19th Century.
Nothing, just God. Not even Time. Then, God spoke a single sentence (Hence the tern UNI-VERSE - Latin) and space (or the Universe) was created. Then (in the order given in Genesis chapter 1) God created the Earth, the Stars and the Planets (and whatever else, like angels etc). God did this all in 6 days (NOT A FEW BILLION!!!). Any case, nothing could have existed before us (other than that which was created in the first five days) because it says everything was created in the six days (including time). Also, it says Eve was the mother of all living (not necessarily biologically but in the sense that she was one of the fist living creatures).
Who are Famous people in the Episcopal Church?

When Elizabeth I became queen in 1558, England had had nearly 30 years of religious turmoil culminating in the ruthless persecution of Protestants under Queen Mary I in 1553-58. The Elizabethan Settlement of the 1560s tried to steer a 'middle course' between Catholic traditions and puritanism. Key features included the restoration of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the formulation of the the Thirty-Nine Articles (of Religion). Although it was an awkward compromise, it held - till the reign of Charles I.
