Can you be Anglican and a Jehovah's Witness?
No.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not engage in inter-faith, meaning that if one is a JW, they will not be belonging or supporting any other religion, including Anglican.
There are several scriptural principles that come into play, all stressing that christians are to be in unity, and "oneness" with God, and that there is not to be among God's people any who mix with what we consider to be false religion.(2 Corinthians 6:17; Ephesians 4:13) Since Jehovah's Witnesses strongly believe that their's is the true faith, that would rule out belonging to any other faith.
Answer from an AnglicanNo you cannot. There is quite a simple reason why you cannot be a Jehovah's Witness and an Anglican. Anglicanism is a denomination in the worldwide Christian Church (including the Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists and so on), and as such accepts that Jesus is Lord and Saviour, is part of a Trinitarian Godhead, and is to be worshipped as God the Son, as did his followers in the time he was on earth, and as billions have done over the last 2000 years. Whichever Christian denomination you are, and that includes Anglicanism, if you are a member of the orthodox Christian Church then you need to accept this most basic doctrine, as laid down in Genesis, John 1, the end of Matthew's Gospel and in countless other places in the Bible and the teachings of the earliest followers of Christ and their own disciples.In the Jehovah's Witness movement, they do not accept the divinity of Christ, regard the Trinity as the work of the devil, and other 'religions', including the whole of the Christian Church, as in league with Satan. Therefore, you cannot be an Anglican who accepts the divinity of Christ it AND a JW who denies it. You cannot be part of the worldwide Christian Church AND a member of an organisation who believes that it is the work of the devil. As Christ himself said - "You are either for me, or against me...You cannot serve two masters".

How did Hendry gain support his Anglican Church?
I take it you mean Henry as in 8?
Henry didn't need to gain to much support for the Church in England, for most people it was ,'their,' Church. All he had to do was keep it on the right lines and not deviate from the faith or make additions to it!
While some people did fall away, on the whole, after all the misuse and neglect over the three hundred years the people of England stayed wonderfully loyal to the ancient Church.
Is Canon William S. Brace an Episcopal priest in SE Florida?
He was. Canon Brace was (I believe) the longest serving rector of all Saints' Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, 1962 - 1981. He remained in residence at all Saints after he retired for nearly twenty more years until he and his wife moved to the Jacksonville area.
Why did the Anglicans separate from the Roman Catholics?
Henry VIII was wed to Catherine of Aragon (relative of the Spanish King). She could not produce him a male heir so he wanted to divorce her. The Pope would not permit it so Henry decalred himself head of the church (which became the Anglican Church) and executed those Catholics who resisted.
What are the prayer book of Anglican church?
First, Anglican is not a religion, it is a denomination (like Catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Etc.) of the Christian faith and as such they hold the Holy Bible to be the inspired word of God. In the Anglican's case, as in all "protestant" denominations, many members use the King James version since King James was an Anglican (Anglican means English - derived from the term "angloland" turned into England), and he commissioned the Bible that bears his name to be translated from the original languages. However, many churches (Catholic and protestant) use other equally valid translations of the Holy Bible (such as the New International Version, the Revised Standard Version, the Good News Bible and so on, and the Jerusalem Bible that is favoured by Catholics) and many Christians use a selection of Bible translations as only by studying the Bible and its translations in many forms can one really grasp the nuances of scripture, and what some words actually mean, without having to be expert in the original Greek of the New Testament and the Hebrew of the Old. By studying the subtle differences in words between translations, a better understanding of what the meaning underneath the passage often comes to light. However, whatever translation is used, the Holy Bible is seen by Christians as the inspired Word of God. Yes, it was written by a motley crew of writers - shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, tent-makers and even a despised tax collector - but the one thread that runs through it is the inspiration of God behind the words. This is what singles out Christianity (and Anglicanism as part of that Christian Church) from sects like Mormonism and Christian Science. In the latter two the Book of Mormon, and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy take precedence over the Bible as divinely inspired writings, whilst in the Christian Church the scriptures stand alone as sufficient for salvation and as an understanding of how God has revealed himself to us throughout history.

Who was affected when Henry VIII changed the Catholic churches into protestant churches?
Henry did not turn or change the Catholic Church into protestant churches! In the world of the 16th,Cent, to be a protestant was to be a Lutheran! What happened was that the Church in England applied itself to a stricter application of Catholic Dogma, than the Continental Churches! They got rid of recent additions to the Deposit of Faith and medieval intrusions! They did however remain Catholic!
Roman Catholic AnswerIn one way or another everyone was affected. The monks and nuns were turned out of their monasteries and all the land confiscated. Any bishops, priests, or lay folk who remained loyal to the Catholic Church lost their money, their lands, and eventually their lives. There were many bold martyrs from this era, especially under Henry VIII, and his daughter, Elizabeth I who, herself, was not particularly religious one way or another but viewed Catholicism as treason, and punished it accordingly. English priests, at the time, were educated in Belgium, in the seminary of Louvain (which still exists), only to return to England to be martyred when caught. It was a very, very sad time for the Church, and to this day all of the Catholic churches are still owned by the Protestants.Should you transfer to the Catholic faith?
As a Catholic, I would say yes! But I am biased!
It depends. If you are convinced of the salvific power of the Catholic church, you Accept the Sacraments (all 7 of them), and you believe that the Catholic Church is the same Church that Jesus Christ founded and which is lead by the Holy Spirit. Then i would say yes. If you are not sure of these things or you do not feel that they are true and you only want to join the Catholic church because you want to go to a pretty ceremony or because your boyfriend/girlfriend will like you more if you are a member of their church. In that case i would say no.
In all other cases, in fact in all cases, for you to know if you should transfer, or convert, to the Catholic Church you should read about it, research it. Look at both sides of the argument and then make up your mind!
AnswerYes, God welcomes all who seek him..
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic faith if NOT a denomination, like the 30,000 or so protestant religions, the Catholic is the only faith which was established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, sending His Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of the world. As the Catholic Church is the one and only Christian faith, you cannot "transfer" into it, but must attend RCIA classes. This is the name for Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. The class runs from August until the Easter Vigil in the spring. It will take you this long to find out what Christianity is all about, and how you will be blessed by it, and how you can live by it. So, no, you cannot transfer to it, but you should call your local parish and attend the classes to find out how to live your life in God's hope of salvation.What was the official church of england during the 1700?

Which aspect of Anglican church opposed by puritans?
The Anglican Church of the seventeenth century was the brainchild of Henry VIII, Edward, and Elizabeth I, and their "divines". Basically they tried to construct a church from scratch with the property they stole from the Catholic Church and keep everything as much like the Catholic Church as possible so that they wouldn't have open rebellion from the people. Thus while throwing out the major dogmas on which the Church is built: like Transubstantiation, and the Latin language (the Church in England for the most part was the Latin Rite), they kept vestments, altars, Church seasons - the Church calendar, they kept the basic structure of the Mass for their new Protestant worship service, etc. The Puritans wanted to purge EVERYTHING that smacked of Rome from their Church. They thought that the monarchs had not gone far enough in "purging the Church of Rome" and they were going to make it "pure". Thus vestments, the service, the prayer book, anything that smacked of Rome in their eyes was to be gotten rid of.
