Protestantism
Generally associated with the protests against the Catholic Church and its methods, Protestants follow Jesus Christ. One of the early scholars to lead the break from the established church was Martin Luther. If you have questions about anything to do with Protestantism, this is place to ask them.

Historically, there was a great deal of unrest and atrocities committed in the name of religion. It began with corruption in the Catholic monasteries at the time of Henry VIII who, worried about the power the monasteries had, and needing an annulment from his wife, broke from Rome to form the Church of England with himself as 'supreme governor' of the Church. This title was chosen specifically as governors of colonies were representatives of a higher ruler - the monarch, and Henry declare he was governor under Christ himself and not the pope. As a result he destroyed most of the monasteries and imprisoned many priests and monks.
On restoration of Catholicism under Mary I she oversaw a reign of bloodshed and terror and earned her the nickname 'Bloody Mary' having put to death (usually by burning alive) many high-ranking churchmen.
The Church of England was only reinstated by Elizabeth I to a great sigh of relief from many in the country as the bloodshed would then cease.
However, that was hundreds of years ago. Nowadays there is no real conflict in England between Catholics and Protestants. Most towns and cities have an ecumenical council of 'Churches Together' and Catholics and other denominations work together in peace, harmony and mutual respect. In my own town we even share occasional worship - something that would never have happened a hundred or so years ago -and which is still frowned upon my some hard-line Catholics.
The problems in Northern Ireland between Catholics and Protestants have little to do with religion but the labels 'Catholic' and 'Protestant' are convenient labels to use for the republican south (mostly Catholics) and the British ex-pat north (mostly Protestant). Republicans wish to see the British out of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic be united. Britain has a different view. Although there has been peace in Northern Ireland for a while, there are still skirmishes an incidents cause by a few republican terrorists who refuse to search for a peaceful outcome.
As for the monarch remaining Protestant, again this is a political situation. All monarchs hold the title of 'supreme governor of the Church of England'. If a monarch were allowed to marry a Catholic, the Catholic Church would insist that the children of that marriage be brought up Catholic. This would mean a Catholic heir to the throne. When he or she became monarch it would be untenable being a Catholic and also governor of a 'protestant' church that rejected the authority of the pope. So no monarch, by law, can marry a Catholic. Nor can members of the royal family who are close in line to succeeding the throne, although some have, in the past, given up their right of succession to marry a Catholic spouse.

Is North Park Theological Seminary a good Seminary?
Yes, North Park Theological Seminary is a good seminary. I have only taken one class there (on Spiritual Direction) but it was well-taught, challenging, based on Scripture, and very informative. I'm acquainted personally with several professors at the seminary and I have a great deal of respect for them. I appreciate how North Park values diversity, and this seems to be well-reflected in their seminary courses. If I were to attend seminary (which is very possible in the future), I would strongly consider North Park Seminary.

Second Great Awakening
Hermann Maas (1877-1970) was a German Protestant pastor who from about the age of 26 onwards was pro-Jewish and worked for understanding between Christians and Jews. In 1932 he helped to establish an organization in Germany to combat antisemitism, and during the Nazi period he helped many Jews leave Germany, even after the outbreak of war. In 1943 he was forced out of office and the following year he was sent to a labour camp. He was the first German to be officially invited to visit Israel (1950) and in 1964 he was named as one of the Righteous Among the Nations.
Protestants who wanted to leave and found their own churches were called?
Separatists
Separatists. They were usually baptists and congregationalists!
Johannes Polhemius entered Heidelberg University at the height of the fervor over the Winter King and Queen, the Palatinate Elector Frederick and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of James I of England. Heidelberg University was the intellectual center of a progressive (as we would say now) theological and philosophical movement influenced by esotericism and characterized by aspirations to 'spiritual alchemy' - that is, the transformation and purification of the spirit (rather than of metal). It was Protestant, but marked by greater tolerance toward other variants of Protestantism than was Lutheranism. It is not improbable that Rev. Johannes followed his professors' bent of thought as a young man. In fact, his rejection by his Dutch congregation in the Netherlands, on the grounds that his way of speaking was too Palatinate, may give a hint he never really abandoned it. They may have objected to the content of some of his sermons, rather than merely to his accent. His thinking may have been a bit too liberal for them.
In most Apostolic churches you would be baptized in the name of Jesus, then God would hopefully give you the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost may also be called the Holy Spirit. To become a member you do not have to be saved, yet you could not be in the choir or anything until you got saved, though.

What was the core reason why Protestants wanted to reform the Catholic Church?
There were several issues over which the Protestants and Catholics were in dispute, but the factor common to almost all issues was that the Protestants felt that the Catholic Church had become corrupt. This is highlighted by the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church, the very practice that led Martin Luther, professor of biblical studies and Augustine monk, initially to seek reform within the Church.
How much time do people spend reading bible?
It depends, i know people who read some everyday, and i know people who never do. But people all together is to many hours to count.
MaDiSoN!!!
But, it is intended to be read everyday. That way it can actually have a staying impact on you!! You can actually read through the Bible cover-to-cover in a year, reading about 10 minutes of it a day. That's not a big commitment.

What was Joshua's feelings on the situation between the Protestants and Catholics?
Nothing: Joshua died in the 14th century BC, and the Reformation was in the 16th century AD, so Jesus Christ hadn't even been born yet, (let alone crucified), and there was no such thing as Christianity split into different factions such as Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.
New Light- had to be converted to be a preacher, taught Americans to decide things based on their individual consciences rather than blindy accept the will of the rich and powerful. they thought that God had already decided whether they were going to heaven or hell, and that no one knew their fate. a sinner could be converted born again and saved from hell in one spiritual moment
Old light- unconverted ministers, thought New Light as a threat to the Congregational chuch
