Anglican Church History - 2.00 Hours
In this course we shall examine the history of English Christianity, starting with its prehistory in Roman Britain and continuing to the present time. During the course of centuries what began as the Church of England grew into an international communion of churches that now spans the globe, though its English roots are still clearly visible. At the time of the Reformation, the Church of England separated from Rome and developed its own ethos, which is the branch of Reformed Protestantism that we now call Anglicanism. we shall look at the key people, ideas, events, structures, movements and dynamics that have shaped this process. Our journey through this history will give us a richer understanding of Anglicanism — what it has been, what it is, and what it might yet become.
This class will meet at The Falls Church Anglican.
