Post #155,666 by pwhysall 5/18/04 7:23:47 AM Reply	Re-read. Modern-day Christianity as practiced in the USA came out of the UK. (Note to Americans: Stop talking about "England" when you mean "The UK". It's REALLY annoying and makes you look even more quaintly parochial than usual.)

Post #155,755 by bluke 5/18/04 4:08:49 PM Reply	Because the King of England got into a fight ... with the Pope and the church higher ups so he created his own Church. [link\|http://www.cofe.anglican.org/about/frame_history.html\| Brief history of the Church of England ] "English civil power and the Church developed in an increasingly uneasy parallel. Two points of contention were the Church's wealth and its ties with Rome. These differences came to a head in the 1530s, when King Henry VIII wished to obtain a divorce from Queen Catherine of Aragon for not producing a male heir. The Pope would not grant it. After a long campaign to reverse this decision, the King ran out of patience and proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and the Church began its separate existence from Rome"
