Bell Work:Why did the Separatist Puritans feel they needed to separate themselves from the Church of England? Use evidence from your vocab sheet from yesterday (i.e. “Church of England,” “Protestantism,” “Puritanism,” “Separatists”).

Church of EnglandEstablished when King Henry VIII separated the English Church from Rome upon the Pope’s refused to grant an annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, in order to marry Anne Boleyn. Under the leadership of the Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer the church began a Protestant Reformation. After the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I, the Church of England was breaking into many different sects. Elizabeth I established several reforms to make the Church of England purely Protestant and head of state (no/little separation between the Church and Monarchy).

ProtestantismA movement that began in Germany in the early 16th century, lead by a friar, Martin Luther, as a reaction against medieval Roman Catholic doctrines and practices, especially in regard to salvation, justification by faith, and theology (rational study of religion). John Calvin, a French Theologian, wrote and clarified Protestantism, bringing the different theological views together.

PuritanismEnglish Protestants in the 16th and 17th century who felt the Church of England was corrupt and needed further reform. Non-separatist puritans stayed within the Church of England and advocated for reform. Puritan culture emphasized the need for self-examination and the strict accounting for one’s feelings as well as one’s deeds.

Separatists (Puritans)English Christians in the 16th and 17th centuries who wished to separate from the Church of England and form independent local churches. The Pilgrims were one such group.

King James IKing of Scotland and Great Britain, he ascended the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth I. He passed an act in which citizens had to say an oath denying the Pope’s authority. He demanded conformity to the Church of England, even persecuting Puritans for their denial of the theology of the Church of England.
