Field guide to Anglican churchmanship More on the high thing. And: schism (nobody tells the king who he cant sleep with) + Erastianism (fallible church: the kings/ruling classs whim is all that matters; a.k.a. the state is now your god too) + Calvinism (importing the Reformation) -> the Enlightenment shattering most English peoples faith -> deep freezer of latitudinarian moralism (Evangelism?! Isnt everyone already an Episcopalian who ought to be?) -> pigging out on granola. Also: like everybody else it has the rights to govern itself and defend its property. Thats all you need to know. |
