This chapter briefly discusses Henry VIII’s separation of the Church of England from the Catholic Church (1534–1547), Edward VI’s establishment of Protestantism (1547–1553), the reestablishment of Catholicism under Mary Tudor (1553–1558), the reestablishment of Protestantism under Elizabeth I (1558–1603), the reassertion of episcopal authority and certain pre-Reformation practices under Charles I (1625–1642), and the Presbyterian establishment mandated by Parliament (1646–1649). While England was controlled by Oliver Cromwell (1649–1658), the Congregationalists or Independents sought without success to have an established church according to their liking, while radical sects like the Quakers created their own religious communities.
