What is Christians fasting?

This ranges as simply going without luxuries through to going without food (and sometimes even water) for a period of time. Fasting, as well as ceansing the body physically, helps to focus the mind and spirit onto more spiritual things. Jesus himself fasted in the wilderness before beginning his work on earth in order to focus his mind on the task ahead. This fasting in the wilderness is commemorated at the Church's season of Lent. During this time Christians reexamine their faith and tend to look carefully at their lives and their Christian journey. Fasting at this time can be anything from doing without the odd bar of chocolate, or glass of wine, through to a full blown fasting, eating only essential items in order to keep healthy - any money saved by not buying food sent to those parts of the world where famine and starvation are sadly more common. Thus fasting not only cleanses the body physically, but also helps the body spiritually, and can also help those who normally have insufficient to eat.

Historical impact of the creation of the church of England?

The Church of England evolved from two religious schisms in Britain. The first began when Henry VIII wanted to get rid of his current wife to marry his mistress, and the Pope would not allow it. As a result, he distanced Britain from papal authority, and became the head of the Church of England. The second schism occurred after the death of his Catholic daughter, Mary I, and the ascension to the throne of his Protestant daughter, Elizabeth I. She firmly established the Church of England and served as head of the Church.

How many did the Anglican rituals became a blend of Catholic and protestant ceremonies?

Although Henry VIII and his heirs, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I had their problems, they knew that their people were attached to their Catholic faith. Henry VIII wanted a protestant church that he could control, one that would follow his wishes as far as his marriage situation was concerned. However, he did not want to deal with an uprising, more than he had to, and he was a Catholic at heart, so he tried to keep the Church as much like it had been as possible. The "bishops" he appointed to run his new church (every single Catholic bishop, but one, resigned and stayed with Rome) translated the Mass into English, removed the objectionable parts which referred to the "sacrifice" but kept the structure and prayers. They kept the offices of bishops, priests, and deacons; they kept the Churches pretty much as they had been, albeit sanitized of the more "Popish" signs. In other words, it was a protestant church dressed up in the ritual and garments of the Catholic church in order to keep the common folk from outright rebellion. It did not work in many cases, and the ruse managed to produce a rash of saintly martyrs.

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?

When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles.

In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.

How often do Anglicans worship?

Anglicans worship in Anglican churches, or Episcopal churches outside England. The ritual is very similar to that of the Roman Catholic church, including the reading of the Gospel.
