NinjaPoodle, the Anglican Church goes back to the time of Henry VIII. IIRC (and history was never my strong suit), Henry wanted to divorce his wife, and the Pope wouldn't let him... so he split from the Church. A lot of the older Protestant sects were getting founded around the same time.

The Anglican Church is very similar to the Catholic Church; High Church, I'm told, is almost identical. The big difference is that the head of the church is England's ruling monarch, rather than the Pope.
