	Church of England - Theopedia
		The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England and acts as the mother and senior province of the worldwide Anglican Communion as well as a founding member of the Porvoo Communion, an association of mostly Anglican and Lutheran churches in Europe.
		But this "broad church" faces various contentious doctrinal questions raised by the development of modern society, such as conflicts over the ordination of women as priests (accepted in 1992 and begun in 1994) and the status of noncelibate homosexual clergy (still unsettled today).
		The Church of England traces its formal corporate history from the 597 mission by Augustine of Canterbury, stresses its continuity and identity with the primitive universal Western church, and notes the consolidation of its particular independent and national character in the post-Reformation events of Tudor England.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church History
		Ecclesiastical history is the scientific investigation and the methodical description of the temporal development of the Church considered as an institution founded by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Ghost for the salvation of mankind.
		Thus we have the history of the popes, of cardinals, of councils, collections of the lives and legends of the saints, the history of orders and congregations; also of patrology, dogma, liturgy, worship, the law, constitution, and social institutions of the Church.
		Since ecclesiastical history is so closely related to theology on the one hand, and on the other to the historical sciences, a knowledge of all is generally speaking a prerequisite for the scientific study of church history.

		The text, 'A History of the Church in England', by J.R.H. Moorman, is one of the important works of Anglican history of this generation.
		As every history is necessarily selective, this one suffers a time or two in the kinds of details left out, but generally hits all of the major events and issues of the development of Anglicanism in England, particularly from the Elizabethan time forward to the early part of the twentieth century.
		This is the best book I have found on the history of the English Reformation and of the Church of England through the middle of the 20th C. I have read it twice and still refer to it often.
