King Henry VIII passed the Act of Supremacy in 1543 which declared that the King was "The only Supreme Head in Earth of the Church of England" and the Treasons Act 1534 made it high treason, punishable by death, to refuse to acknowledge the King as such.

Henry was officially excommunicated on December 17th 1538, five years after the annulment of his marriage to Catherine and commencement of his marriage to Anne.

Jonathan Edwards declared his purpose in his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." He gave this sermon to a Calvinist congregation, and it was published on July 8, 1741.

Yes until he became a Quaker when he was 22.

I cannot remember the exact date, though I seem to recall that it was in the late 1990s. He had been suffering from cancer for some time, but he actually died of a heart attack whilst eating dinner - a remarkably pleasant passing. It was 1992.

The first churches in Britain (and Ireland) were not connected to Rome, they were independent, and known as the 'Celtic' churches. Then in 597AD, the Roman Catholic church sent a monk called Augustine (not the famous Augustine of Hippo) who began to spread the Roman Catholic influence. Eventually the Celtic Churches agreed to follow Roman customs.

So the Church of England was Roman Catholic until the time of Henry VIII, when it broke away during the Protestant Reformation. The Catholics have always wanted England to return to Roman Catholicism, and this almost happened during the reign of Queen Mary, Henry VIII's daughter - she was a Catholic and had many Protestant leaders burned at the stake. But she was succeeded by her sister Queen Elizabeth I, who was a Protestant, and the Church of England has been Protestant ever since.

Eventually the Roman Catholic church realised it could not win the Church of England back, so it started planting new Catholic churches in England. So there are now churches, ministers, cathedrals and bishops of both denominations.

The Church of England was established during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 16th century as a response to his desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. This led to the break from the authority of the Pope and the creation of a separate church in England with the monarch as the head of the church.

Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460) was a Portuguese royal prince who was known for his contributions to the exploration of the Atlantic Ocean and the west coast of Africa. While he did not directly make money from his expeditions, his efforts played a significant role in expanding Portugal's trade and commerce, which ultimately helped generate revenue for the country.

Prince Henry's main focus was to find a sea route to the source of African gold, which was a valuable commodity at the time. He sponsored numerous expeditions that explored the west coast of Africa, establishing trade contacts and mapping out the coastline. This helped Portugal gain access to the rich resources of Africa, including gold, ivory, and slaves.

Prince Henry also established a school for navigators, where he brought together experts in astronomy, cartography, and shipbuilding. The school's students were trained in the latest navigation techniques and technologies, which helped Portugal gain a competitive edge in trade and commerce.

Through his efforts, Prince Henry helped expand Portugal's reach and influence in the world, which ultimately helped generate revenue for the country through increased trade and commerce.

I cannot give you the actual figures, bit as a trainee priest in the Anglican Church I can give you some idea of the numbers of women training. In my college (one of many in the Church of England) I have 35 in my year group. 19 of these (ie over half) are women. There are three year groups altogether and it seems that this is a typical intake.

Therefore, by the time all the current clergy retire or die, it seems that in future the male/female split will be either roughly equal gender, or there may well be a slight majority of women clergy of the current trends continue.

Only Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and maybe Coptic churches do this.

Basically, its 'identity politics.' The Church of England thought people in a particular area - called a Parish - should join and worship as one there (a territorial basis then). Separatist, on the other hand believed that the foundation of the church was God's Spirit, not man or the state. These then believed in a 'gathered church' where 'Christians' would reach out to other like-minded worshippers and come together as one church.

IN the USA, two groups of 'separatists' settled here in the early 17th Century AD - Puritans who wished to change their mother Church of England from within and not separate; and the Pilgrims who wished to separate fully. These two groups began to cooperate together and eventually, the Puritans accepted the new congregational form of government, joined together to form the Congregationist in the USA.

The Episcopal branch of Christianity believes that everyone should believe what they want. They are open and will accept and support any decisions you make. My mother recently got a divorce and is engaged. The church congratulated her. They will support you in any choice.

No. But they do receive a pension.

You are referring to Canonical Church Vestments. The Priest and higher clergy Such as cardinals wear Vestments, this term used instead of uniform or habit, which the latter term may be press-fitted if you are dealing with the regular clergy which are quasi independent, such as Franciscans, Dominicans, etc. there are very few inthe Anglican (episcopalian) community though there was a regular Anglo-Catholic order known as the Cowley Fathers. Name referred to city in England and not Monkish costume with hood or cowl! As a cardinal is a Superior Officer of the church, or Elder Stateman, he would be of the Episcopal(here meaning Bishop, not the denomination) rank and have all the appurtenaces of that dignity- the Crozier or hooked staff, the Mitre or bishop"s headgear. and so on Red is the(Color of arm or service) for the Cardinals, possiby derived from the Bird of that name, or maybe the theory they are the Life Blood of the church. By the way in the World War II German Armed Forces-and Army and Luftwaffe essentially similar here. Red was the color of arm of service for A-artillery, including FLAK, General Staff, Judicial officials, upper ranking, one gets the idea- red for Mars!

King Philip was a fervent Catholic and did all in his power to battle the Lutheran heresy and stem its march to deprive people of their ability to attain heaven.
