what is the name of the first anglican church
Church of England The Church of England (C of E) is the state church of England.[3][4][5] The Archbishop of Canterbury (currently Justin Welby) is the most senior cleric, although the monarch is the supreme governor. The Church of England is also the mother church of the international Anglican Communion. It traces its history to the Christian church recorded as existing in the Roman province of Britain by the third century, and to the 6th-century Gregorian mission to Kent led by Augustine of Canterbury.[6][7][8]
Victorian morality Religious morality changed drastically during the Victorian Era. When Victoria took the throne the Anglican Church was very powerfulâ€”running schools and universities, and with high ranking churchmen holding offices in the House of Lords.[6] The Church's power continued to rule in rural areas throughout the Victorian Era; however that was not the case in industrialised cities.[6] In the cities those against the Church were many and dissent was rampant.[6] However, dissent has been running its pressure since the onset of Puritanism in politics even before the Oliver Cromwell days. The dissenting sects were against what the Anglican church was using its power for.[7] The Church demanded obedience to God, submissiveness and resignation with the goal of making people more malleable to the will of the Church.[7] The Church was accused of appeasing the will of the elite, and of caring little if at all about the needs and wants of the lower, peasant class,[7] from which dissent emerged Methodism, Congregationalism, The Society of Friends (Quakers) and Presbyterianism.[7] The Methodists and Presbyterians in particular stressed personal salvation through direct individual faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection on the behalf of sinners, citing the New Testament Gospels and the writings of the Apostles Peter, James and Paul.[7] This stress on individualism is seen throughout the Victorian Era and becomes even more developed in middle class life.
