I am not by any stretch of the imagination, or knowledge, a religious historian, but I venture to post the following one pargraph history, and I hope and trust my fellow Freepers on this ping list will feel free to opine, edit, correct any errors, and revise...

The Anglican Communion, born of the Church of England, which was formed when Henry VIII wanted to marry Anne Boleyn, denied permission to do so by the Pope, he split the Church off from Rome; as we know it presently, died when ECUSA split itself off from the AC because it wanted to allow one of its bishops to participate in a homosexual union.

It's rough, needs work, but has potential I feel..

You need to spend some time in a few history books before you make such blanket statements.

The winds of change were blowing, it is likely some sort of break from Rome would have happened with or without Henry's problems. Actually, Anglicanism as we know it, was not cemented until Elizabeth I came along.

You need to read the 39 articles (hint -- they are not about Henry's divorce). You need to read about the many English reformers, clerics and scholars who gave their life for the cause of the English Reformation.
