Home›Denominations›Originated In›EnglandRegionEnglandAlso Known As EnglishEuropeDocumented History and SocietyVerifiedEngland is the nation occupying the southern two thirds of the island of Great Britain, the setting of the Church of England's establishment under Henry VIII, the medieval pilgrimage centres of Canterbury and Walsingham, and the Reformation controversies that shaped Anglicanism. It is held here as a region distinct from Britain because English religious history is a national one: Scotland kept its own established Church of Scotland, and Wales and Ireland each had their own religious settlements, so England and the island of Britain answer different questions in this atlas.FactsLearn MoreEnglandConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsGeographyLatitudeWell-attested52.5 degrees north 1Approximate reference point, rounded to one decimal place; a large or historical region has no formal center, so this coordinate is conventional, not a precise boundary claim.LongitudeWell-attested1.5 degrees west 1Approximate reference point, rounded to one decimal place; a large or historical region has no formal center, so this coordinate is conventional, not a precise boundary claim.Modern AreaWell-attestedEngland, the southern and largest of the four nations of the United Kingdom. 1TraditionsPrincipal Religious TraditionsWell-attestedThe Church of England, established under Henry VIII and settled under Elizabeth; Roman Catholicism, proscribed and later restored; the Nonconformist churches, Baptist, Congregational, Quaker and Methodist; and the Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh communities of the modern country. 2Sacred and Liturgical LanguagesWell-attestedLatin until the Reformation and English after it, the Book of Common Prayer and the Authorised Version fixing much of the religious register of the language itself. 3Learn MoreFrom Canterbury to the Royal Supremacy Christianity reached England twice over, and the two arrivals had to be reconciled. Augustine landed in Kent in 597 at the head of a mission sent from Rome and worked outward from Canterbury, while monks trained in the Irish tradition came south from Iona into Northumbria at much the same time, carrying a different calculation of Easter and a different monastic discipline. The Synod of Whitby in 664 decided for the Roman reckoning, and Bede, writing at Jarrow in 731, made that decision the spine of the first history of the English church and gave the English a single story about themselves. The medieval centuries covered the country with cult sites. Canterbury became one of the principal pilgrimage destinations in Europe after the killing of Thomas Becket in his own cathedral in 1170, and Walsingham in Norfolk drew pilgrims to a chapel held to reproduce the house of the Annunciation. Monasteries held a large share of English land and much of its learning. The break with Rome came from the top rather than from below. Henry VIII's dispute over his marriage produced the Act of Supremacy in 1534, and the dissolution of the monasteries transferred that landed estate to the crown and its buyers within a decade. What followed was a sequence rather than a settlement: reformed prayer books under Edward, a return to Rome under Mary, and the Elizabethan arrangement that kept bishops and cathedrals while adopting reformed doctrine. The Thirty-Nine Articles and the Book of Common Prayer are what that arrangement left behind, and Anglican churches worldwide still refer to them.An Established Church in a Country That Has Left It England is one of a very small number of places with a church established by law whose population has largely stopped belonging to it. The Church of England's senior bishops sit in the House of Lords by right, the monarch is its supreme governor, and the coronation remains a religious service conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury with an anointing at its centre. Parish churches carry legal duties toward everyone resident in the parish, whether or not those people attend anything. Against that stands a change in the returned figures without precedent in the modern period. In the 2021 census for England and Wales, for the first time since the religion question was introduced, fewer than half of respondents described themselves as Christian, and a little over a third recorded no religion. The largest minority faiths, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism, are concentrated in particular cities and boroughs rather than spread evenly, so a national percentage and a local one can differ enormously, and the same census that shows national decline shows dense religious life in specific places. The distance between the legal position and those figures is the live argument. Defenders of establishment describe it as a civic arrangement that keeps a place for religion in public life rather than a claim about what most people believe. Critics read the same arrangement as a privilege no longer matched by numbers. Disestablishment has been proposed repeatedly and carried out nowhere in England, although it happened in Ireland in 1871 and in Wales in 1920, and both cases are precedents the argument keeps returning to.EnglandFilter Results7 entriesFounded ByAllGeorge Fox (1)Henry VIII (1)Church FamilyAllAnglican (3)Congregationalist (1)Methodist (1)Quaker (1)Origin EraAll1534 (3)1620 (1)1647 (1)1865 (1)1974 (1)Establishment StatusAllDisestablished (1)Established (1)No Establishment (1)Varies by Province (2)Parent ReligionAllChristianity (6)Modern Satanism (1)Marriage PositionAllNo single uniform teaching on marriage's terms holds across the body (2)Liturgical LanguageAllThe vernacular (7)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex sexual relationships are held contrary to teaching; LGBT individuals are welcomed as members but not ordained, and same-sex unions are not blessed (1)Same-sex unions may be blessed, but ordination is not extended to partnered LGBT clergy (1)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (3)PolityAllA federation of autonomous member organisations (2)A single central governing body over the whole movement (1)Business decided by the gathered meeting seeking unity, without clergy (1)Congregational: each congregation self-governing (1)Episcopal: governed by bishops (2)No central authority (1)Synodal: governed by synods of clergy and lay delegates (1)Practice StatusAllLiving tradition, practised today (7)Ordination PracticeAllAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordination (1)No ordination; authority rests on learning or on the whole body (1)Open to women and men (3)Varies between provinces or member bodies (3)Parent DenominationAllProtestantism (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 7Anglican CommunionEnglandAnglicanismEnglandChurch of EnglandEnglandCongregationalistsEnglandOrder of Nine AnglesEnglandQuakerism (Religious Society of Friends)EnglandThe Salvation ArmyEnglandConnectionsAssociated WithCanterbury Cathedral, Sacred Sites Well-attested Canterbury Cathedral is the mother church of the Church of England and the seat of its Archbishop.Charity Commission Inquiry into the Manchester New Moston Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, Abuse Inquiries and Response Policies Well-attested Church of England, Denominations Well-attested The Church of England is the established church of England specifically, not of Scotland or Wales.IICSA Anglican Church Investigation Report, Abuse Inquiries and Response Policies Well-attested IICSA Chichester and Peter Ball Investigation Report, Abuse Inquiries and Response Policies Well-attested Peter Ball Sexual Abuse Conviction, Abuse Inquiries and Response Policies Well-attested The Elizabethan Persecution of Catholics, Religious Events Well-attested ConnectedThe kingdom whose crown and Parliament enacted and enforced the penal statutes.Source Catholic Encyclopedia, "Penal Laws" (New Advent)Catholic Encyclopedia editorial staff (1907 to 1912 edition)tier 3The English Reformation, Religious Events Well-attested The settlement was English rather than British; Scotland reformed separately.Attested HereBlack Shuck, Mythical Creatures Well-attested Source An Encyclopedia of Fairies: Hobgoblins, Brownies, Bogies, and Other Supernatural CreaturesKatharine M.
