There are few places that entice the imagination quite like England. Just a little island off the western coast of continental Europe, it boasts a rich history that stretches all the way back to the first modern humans.
Since then, entire societies have risen and fallen as people learned to make flint and bone tools, bury their dead, and fortify their cities against foreign raiders.
From the fearsome Celtic warriors of prehistory to the clever inventors and statesmen of the modern era, England’s story is one bursting with magnificent castles, complex kings and queens, rebellious peasants, and horrifying plagues.
Throughout history, more people have called England home than perhaps most of us have ever realized.

What happened in England from Henty 8 can hardly be called a reformation. It had nothing to do with theology. It had all to do with the lust of adulterous king.

As an agnostic, I can vaguely see the appeal of Christianity - but I can't imagine joining the Church of England. How can any credible church be governed by the king or queen of England? Historically, they seem a completely random collection of individuals - accidents of genealogy and history. Their personal or religious qualities are equally random, but seldom noteworthy.

Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Fillings of your choice (e.g., diced vegetables, cheese, ham)

Instructions:
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Whisk the eggs until well beaten, ensuring a smooth consistency.
3. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
4. Once the oil is hot, pour the beaten eggs into the pan.
5. Allow the eggs to cook for a minute until the edges start to set.
6. Use a spatula to lift the edges, letting the uncooked eggs flow underneath.
7. When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add your chosen fillings on one half of the omelette.
8. Carefully fold the other half over the fillings, creating a half-moon shape.
9. Cook for an additional minute or until the omelette is cooked through but still moist.
10. Slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve immediately.

The church of England is still in many ways catholic. The act of supremacy of 1558 describes the church as a reformed catholic church. Moreover one must consider the church of England in context against the Anglican communion as a whole. Henry VIII hated the protestant movement and the catholic church made him defender of the faith, a title still used today, though I suspect its application differs. What made Henry different was that he was to be the head of the church of England not the Pope and he introduced 'reforms' to establish such, the so called Henrician reformation, which is not be to be connected with the Protestant reformation which he, a said, hated.

church of england was established when crhistinaity first came to england not after the reformation, henry then covnerted it to the reformed Church of England NOT THE ANGLICAN CHURCH this is a common misconception. The church of england properly adopted anglicanism under Elizabeth 1 to combat catholic and reform rivaliries taking aspects of both worlds. stop spreaing misinformation about a church you clearly dont understand

[shirleyvanderheijden]

The Church of England was a break away church because King Henry wanted many wives and didn’t like the commands of Gods Way, Truth and Life, so decided to establish his own Church!

[chrislambert]

It is wrong to continually say "Catholic church" The Commentator should say "Roman Catholic church"

[josephodonnell]

It is not a Christian church, it is simply a "church " of convenience.

King James version was the result of Church of England

[alvanrigby]

There was a church in England before St Augustine arrived.

[tigersaremytotem]

The monarchy today on the church is mostly ceremony...a runner stamp. I shouldn't worry about a King taking it over as a tyrant

[jnbufkin]

Uh ...wrong. The Church of England traces its history back to 597. That year, a group of missionaries sent by the pope and led by Augustine of Canterbury began the Christianisation of the Anglo-Saxons. Augustine became the first archbishop of Canterbury. They were in communion with Rome until the 15th Century and then Henry VIII broke communion with Rome...concurrently the Reformation was taking shape and the Anglican church became a "reformed" communion.

[voicesofthehiddenway]

Some Anglicans believe in the real presence, but not transubstantiation as the actual corporeal besides the spiritual presence of Christ. This is the historical difference. Many nowadays take it to be a symbolic presence, I have noticed.

The Act of Uniformity under Elizabeth 1, which reversed Mary Tudor's Catholic Settlement, was carried in the House of Lords by a majority of 3 votes.

[robertomallan]

Your wrong she did force them to be Protestant

[murmursmeglos]

I like how it was born out of scandal. But Catholicism kind of shot itself in the foot, Henry VIII was so desperate to get rid of his first marriage because the religion made him believe he was forever cursed for marrying his dead brother's wife. Mary I and the Pope's blood-thirsty attempts to get England back under Catholicism pretty much forced the opposite. Henry VIII may have unknowingly saved the crown, especially when you look at how Catholic kings faired in other countries and their monarchies abolished because they believed in absolute power ordained by the Pope.

[MarieDavis-xter]

Its my belief when I went before the Church of England under Henry the 8th that believed just as the Muslims to in the beheadings of the unfaithful to the Church of England that I went before a man called the executioner that sat me dressed and told me by no means was I to betray Her Majesty the Queen of England and the Church of England because of the beliefs of Henry the 8th and the Muslims faith?? This man was dressed in black just as the Muslims with a black sack over his head just as the Muslims do and Her Majesty the Queen of England sat me down and said we love you but we can not have family disloyalty just like your daddy king Faisal once said we love you but ? We or you are no better than us or anyone else to be beheaded and I believe that it was the global order of the Freemasons and that I was to never betray The Church of England and the Royal Family and I will be watched over my last time to show my love 💓 loyalty to The Church of England and to its people?
