The Anglican Church is arguably older than the Roman Church. It was already in existence when Constantine (if memory serves) sent missionaries with his soldiers to conquer England.

The modern ECUSA does not represent Anglican theology anymore. Many of us left when the 1928 Book of Common Prayer was ditched in favor of the 1979 BCP, which laid the groundwork for every heresy we see in the modern ECUSA.

The Reformed churches represent a more traditional Protestant liturgy, and the Anglican Catholic Churches represent the Oxford movement - our services at solemn High Mass are as close as you can get (outside the Greek Orthodox, I suppose) to the way Christians worshipped in the first several centuries after our Lord's resurrection.

'Arguably' is correct. While there was a Christian Church in Britain (and more so in Ireland) before it became 'Romanized', it's a very big stretch to claim this as the Anglican church that was developed out of the Roman Catholic church purely as a convenience to Henry VIII's libido.

Uh, no. There were Christians in Rome even before the apostles Peter and Paul. The Roman Church was up and running by 45 -- about the time Claudius's first legions were landing in Britain. Any claim that these legions included Christian missionaries would be fanciful at best.

To use the patristic rule that the Church is "where the bishop is", there was no Church in Britain before Pope Gregory I the Great sent Augustine to Canterbury.

England didn't require "conquering" by Constantine. Have you never heard of Hadrian's Wall? Evidently you don't know that Constantine was in England himself, with his father's troops, when he launched the campaign that would make him Caesar.
