Birth of

anglicanism
The English Reformation began with Henry VIII of
England (r. 1509-1547 CE) and continued in stages
over the rest of the 16th century CE. The process
witnessed the break away from the Catholic
Church headed by the Pope in Rome.
The Protestant Church of England was thus
established and the English monarch became its
supreme head. Other consequences included the
dissolution of the monasteries, the abolition of the
Mass, the use of the English language in services
and in the Bible used, the replacement of altars Henry VIII

with communion tables, and a general doing away
of the more decorative and showy elements of
Catholicism both within services and the churches
themselves.
Catholicism

Without a Pope
Henry VIII took some innovative measures.
Convents were dismantled and their wealth
secularized. There was little opposition as the
people were scandalized by the extent of church
property – a third of the kingdom. Then, by order
of the king, each parish was to own a Bible in
English, the New Testament in Tyndale’s
translation dated 1526 and the whole Bible in
Coverdale’s translation (1535).
Henry VIII felt strong bonds to Catholicism. In
1539 he wrote “the 6 articles” adopted by the Myles Coverdale
parliament which resolutely condemned Luther’s Translate the first English version of the

ideas. Henry VIII founded a Church separate from
Rome, without monastic communities, but true to
Rome’s doctrine.
Protestants

under Henry VIII

Luther’s ideas were present in the Augustinian
convent and the university of Cambridge between
1520 and 1525. The “Cambridge group” was
broken up in 1525, and some members exiled.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer,
was a scholar appreciative of Luther’s ideas. He
played a minor political role but a major
theological role after Henry VIII’s marriage with
Catherine of Aragon had been nullified.

Edward VI and the

conversion of England

to the Reformation
On Henry VIII’s death in 1547, his son Edward VI
was only 9. The regency council and the
archbishop of Canterbury, Cranmer, opened the
gates of England to the Reformation.
Reformers swarmed in from the continent. John
Knox became Edward VI’s chaplain. Martin Bucer,
a reformer from Strasbourg, became a professor
at Cambridge university. He convinced Cranmer
to embrace the whole of reformed theology.
In 1549 mass was abolished. A new liturgy in
English was implemented -namely the « Book of Edward VI
common Prayer », Thomas Cranmer’s Henry VIII's successor
masterpiece used in the Anglican church until the
XXth century.
The tudor Sisters
Mary Tudor, the daughter of Henry VIII and
Catherine of Aragon, was a pious catholic. When she
was crowned, she restored Catholicism in England
under the pope’s authority.
When she died without an heir in 1558, Elizabeth
succeeded her.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Ann
Boleyn. The Protestants brought her to the throne. It
is still unknown whether she was a Protestant at
heart, but she needed the support of the Protestants
to reign.
Elizabeth re-instituted the Supremacy Act, thus
asserting her position as queen and sole head of the
Church of England.
She appointed new bishops to revise the doctrine of
the Church. The result was a text called “39 articles”,
adopted as the official text by the Anglicans.
Mary and Elizabeth
Two English Queens with different views on

Elizabeth, however, did not totally break away from the legacy of English Christianity
the catholic tradition. The service and the
organization of the Church still kept traces of it.
Elizabeth set a compromise between Protestant and
Catholic components. This accounts for the name
often given to Anglicanism the “middle way”.

• At a baptism, the sermon comes after the

gospel or the peace.

• At the Celebration and Blessing of a
