is ANGLICAN CHURCH a part of the PROTESTANT denomination????

Answer 1

Certainly. The "Church of England" was a creation of King Henry VIII and his anti-papal clergy in the early 16th. century. In addition to embracing the teachings of Wyatt, Luther, and others, the monarchy had freed itself from any allegiance to rome. Moreover, Henry (and his ancestors) became the "head of the church," thus even further distancing themselves from any papal authority.

In truth, and from the viewpoint of several existing monarchies in Europe, the reformation was as much or more a political, rather than than spiritual issue.

Answer 2

There is no Protestant denomination. The Anglican Communion is a fellowship of national churches with historical and liturgical ties to the Church of England. In the United States, the Episcopal Church is a member of the Anglican Communion.
Some people would count Anglicans among Protestants because they are neither Roman Catholic nor Eastern Orthodox, but that is really not correct. Those denominations which are properly considered Protestant are those that trace their lineage to the reformers Luther, Calvin and Zwingli. The Church of England's split with Rome was certainly influenced by Protestants but under Elizabeth I, the Church of England established itself as a "middle path" between both Protestants and Catholics. While rejecting the authority of the papacy, the Church of England also maintains traditions, such as Apostolic Succession and episcopal structure, which make it distinct from Protestantism.

No, the Church of England traces it's history back to Henry VIII who split from he Catholic church because it refused to let him divorce one of his wives. Both it and the Anglican church which is the Church of England anywhere but England is a direct offshoot of the Catholic church. No changes were made to services or hierarchy other than having the Archbishop of Canterbury as it's head instead of the pope. There are a few differences such as not putting as much into Mary and the saints but it is not and never was part of the Protestant revolution. As a matter of fact as of the 1970s when the Catholic church finally translated their service from Latin into English in this part of the world the Anglican and Catholic services were identical. Since then there have been changes in the Catholic services.

Answer 4

Is Anglican Protestant

Answer 5

Sort of ...

The Protestants were a sect of Christianity that broke away from the central church (which is essentially now Catholicism).

They were protesting. Thus the name.

Since then, the Protestant sect has split into many sects.

That being said, I always thought that Anglicans were essentially Church of England which was split from the Roman Catholic church by Henry VIII so he could divorce and re-marry. That is, I would have thought that the Church of England and Anglicanism were descended from the same thing (the early Catholic church) that Protestantism was descended from, but one was not a subset (or subsect) of the other.

Answer 6

Yes.

The Church of England is a Protestant denomination of Christianity which was established by King Henry VIII of England. In 1534 he broke away from the Roman Catholic Church with the Act of Supremacy, which declared the king of England to be the head of the Church of England.

Answer 7

Yes. In short any Christian based religion that is not Catholic is Protestant. Protestants broke off during the reformation which was accidentally started by Martin Luther.

Protestant is derived from protest, as in a protest of the Catholic church. Churches that came to exist due to the protest are considered part of the reformation which we could say is still going on as new Christian churches are established.

Answer 8

The Anglican Communion is a world-wide affiliation of Anglican Churches. There is no single "Anglican Church" with universal juridical authority, since each national or regional church has full autonomy. The Anglican Communion considers itself to be part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and as being both Catholic and Reformed.

Answer 9

Yes.

It means all of the denominations that were part of the split off of the Church of England from the Catholic Church. Therefore part of the protestant movement. Actually they protested nothing within the Church. They broke off over the Church not allowing the divorce of King Henry VIII to his wife Catherine of Spain. The only reformers that did so on non theological grounds.
