		Since the Elizabethan Religious Settlement the Church of England has enjoyed a heritage that is both Catholic and Protestant with the British monarch as its Supreme Governor.
		The bulk of the population was willing to go along with Elizabeth's religious settlement, but extremists at both ends of the theological spectrum would have nothing to do with it, and cracks in the facade of religious unity in England were appearing.
		The religious landscape of England assumed its present form, with an Anglican established church occupying the middle ground, and the two extremes, Roman Catholic and Puritan, too strong to be suppressed altogether, having to continue their existence outside the national church, rather than controlling it.

		Perhaps the most striking and courageous act of the government of Elizabeth was to face the religious problem, a task on which, though complete success was impossible and serious failure would have been disastrous, the fate of the country largely depended.
		The result was the settlement of 1559, by which the prayer-book and the communion service were restored and episcopacy and such ancient ceremonies as were not absolutely incompatible with the new theology retained.
		No one believed, perhaps, that the religious policy of Elizabeth possessed any more elements of permanency than those of her predecessors; and the nation acquiesced in what had been done in confident expectation of further developments.

		However, the span of five years (1553-1558) prior to Elizabethan times is aptly termed as the “Bloody Mary’s reign”, due to the anarchy that prevailed during that period.
		Elizabethan times were marked by religious wars, since Protestantism reached its peak during this period.
		It was not until the Religious Settlement of 1559 that Elizabethan times saw the restoration of some sort of religious stability.

		She wanted every church in the land to worship God as the religious settlement dictated, and did not want any change made to the settlement, or for the church to be pushed in a more fervent Protestant direction.

		In the Elizabethan theatre, this distinction did not exist, and for two reasons: first, performances took place in the open air and in daylight which illuminated everyone equally; secondly, the spectators were all around the stage (and wealthier spectators actually on it), and were dressed no differently to the actors, who wore contemporary dress.

	The Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Elizabeth's religious views were remarkably tolerant for the age in which she lived.
		Elizabeth tried to accommodate Catholic beliefs in her religious settlement so that they could go to church without feeling guilty or disloyal to their faith, and often turned a blind eye to Catholics who had secret services in their home.
		The Elizabethan government genuinely believed that Catholics, particularly the Jesuits, posed a serious threat to the Queen's life and reign, and the literature produced by the leaders of the "English Mission" (an active campaign to restore Catholicism in the land and depose Elizabeth) such as William Allen and Robert Persons, seemed to confirm their suspicions.

		It is the purpose of this paper to suggest that the turning point in the religious history of this country is the decade between 1560 and 1570, and that in this period the foundations of the Protestant triumph were secured.
		The Elizabethan Government was secure and the chance of restoration of Catholic life and worship had already faded away.
		DURING this decade a deep and far-reaching change took place in England, a change in the essentials of religious worship, by which the habit of centuries was swept away, and the new practice of assistance at the Anglican Prayer Book service was established and consolidated.

		While he was not at the execution himself, he was, as the most important figure at the centre of a loose Elizabethan espionage ring, implicated in the unsettling failure of intelligence that had made a sombre state execution come dangerously close to gruesome farce.
		Elsewhere that work is part of an "undeclared and covert religious war", although it's difficult to see quite how repulsing an Armada invasion in 1588 or seeking to secure Protestant interests in the Low Countries were either undeclared or covert.
		There's no mention whatsoever of the Elizabethan religious settlement's willingness to include those lukewarm Protestants who still held some sort of affection for the old faith (such were, after all, still the dominant religious population in England in 1580); we're offered instead implacable "enemies all around - indeed even within".

		The Elizabethan Religious Settlement was Elizabeth I’s response to the religious divisions created over the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I.
		Once seen as a terminal point for the English Reformation and the foundation of a "via media Anglicanism" by scholars, leading historians now more commonly regard the "settlement" as taking place long before England had become an extensively Protestant nation on a popular level.
		It is now common to see the "settlement" as belying or even provoking great divisions in the population and among the clergy which cannot be reduced to a few simple categories like "conservatives," "Anglicans," and "Puritans," a traditional arrangement that anachronistically deploys modern stereotypes of limited value.

	The Origins of Thanksgiving in America
		In an ironic twist of fate, millions of Americans sit down to a turkey feast, in order to celebrate the religious freedom of early settlers who came to the New World precisely for the purpose of creating a Zion in the Wilderness, a utopian place where absolutely NO religious freedom would be allowed.
		Such leaders as Winthrop, Dudley, Endecott, and the Rev. John Cotton, were strongly opposed to democracy, were fanatical in their zealousness to prevent any independence in religious views, and had NO trust in the people at large.
		The succeeding generation witnessed a decline of religious zeal, and when the clergy tried to whip it up again, in the dying gasp of the theocracy to keep a death-grip on political power, by interpreting recurring scandals and misfortunes as signs of divine wrath against a sinning public, the public rejected it.

		The term Puritan was first used in the reign of Elizabeth (1558—1603) as a term of reproach for those who, in the eyes of their opponents, were too taken up with the purity of the visible Church.
		The Puritans regarded the religious reforms of the reign of Edward VI (1547—53) as incomplete.
		When Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558 she produced what was later known as the "Elizabethan religious settlement’, which was basically a political device — her main aim being to consolidate her own position.

		The Marprelate Tracts are mentioned in almost all histories of the Elizabethan era, in histories of the Anglican Church, and in all considerations of the religious disputes between the Puritans and the Church of England in the late sixteenth century.
		The pamphlets are briefly described in terms of their presumed scurrility and opposition to the office of bishop and the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, but the contents of the writings, the underlying theology of the writer and the degree to which they agree or disagree with other, better known Puritan writings are not considered.
		The result of this effort for myself has been to be able to read a popular and racy account of the Puritan arguments for their ideas, their objections to the religious settlement of Elizabeth, and to sample the Puritan mode of disputation.

		The shaping of this Church is known as “The Elizabethan Settlement”, and it was comprised of two acts -- The Act of Supremacy and The Act of Uniformity, both passed on April 29,1559.
		This theologically moderate statement[xxi] was in essence the religious means to achieve political tranquility, a way in which both Catholics and Protestants could live in close quarters in relative harmony, one respecting the others wishes as long as they paid their due homage to the queen.

		The English Civil War was a religious and political revolution between the Puritans and the Monarchy allied with Church.
