Where have Anglicans come from?

Read a brief overview of Anglican foundations by SFC Lecturer in Church History Jo Inkpin, which appeared originally in an article in this month's The Eagle (the magazine of St John's Cathedral Brisbane). Addressing an issue which is often simplistically treated, not least by critics from outside Anglican circles, this article “The Origins of Anglicanism – what difference did Henry Vlll actually make?” is a must-read.
