Why was the Church of England established?
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.

How did Henry VIII make money?
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.

Anglican Church how many women priests have taken vows by 2009?
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.
Why do Christians celebrate the feasts of the saints in the course of the year?
Only Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, and maybe Coptic churches do this.
How were the separatists views different from the Church of England?
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.
What does the episcopal faith believe about divorce?
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.
What is the name of a cardinal's outfit?
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!

How much power did Henry 8th get when he became Church of England?
Anglican Answer!
Henry had always been Church of England! He had the powers he inherited from his father as King of England and in the Church in England he was a member of a Church which was held in deep respect by all but a few of his countrymen. Anglicanism, was Catholicity with a n English face.
His struggle was not Anglican against Catholic as many try to persuade us, but Anglican against Roman. The struggle had been rampaging through the Church in Western Europe since the Eastern Church had been forced out by papal demands in 1054. Henry's part in all this was to point out to the papacy that its pretensions to power in the Catholic Church were going against the fundamentals of the Canons, or rules!
Why do Vicars wear a cross around their necks?

I can speak about a scratch dial first hand as we have one on our parish church. Scratch dials were in regular use before clocks and especially watches were generally available to tell the time. Before mechanical timepieces the only reliable way (and that was not that reliable!) was by using the sun's position in the sky, and hence a sundial. A scratch dial is made of a small hole in the wall of a church (around 3/4 inch in diameter and an inch deep) surrounded by lines radiating from it at particular angles like the spokes in a wheel. The lines represent the times, on a Sunday, of the various services and were spaced out accordingly when the dial was made. To use a scratch dial, a finger is inserted into the hole perpendicular to the wall, and the edge of the sun's shadow of the finger is examined against the lines scratched into the stone, so that a visitor can see how long it will be before the next service.
How do you address a retired bishop?
