The Episcopol Church in the U.S. and England has been Sunday School for Agnostics for decades. Of course, a church started by Henry the VIII is a church from Hell, no offense to traditional Episcopalians.

That is why there is an Anglican church in the US. We are getting a lot of folks who are leaving the Episcopal church for the more traditional Anglican Church. Look up APA.

“...a church started by Henry the VIII ...”

you do know that the Church of England returned to Rome after Henry died. Then a few more bishops were burned at the stake or heads separated from their body, they then saw the light and cut the Roman cord once again.

Worship changed from Latin to English, a Book of Common Prayer published in the vernacular, and the King James Bible followed. Some in England at the time believed the church was affirmed by God when an invasion force, the Spanish Armada, intent on returning Rome to England, was destroyed by Divine intervention. Pretty neat stuff.
