II. The Anglican reformation was not, as is commonly claimed, primarily political and only secondarily theological. The enthronement of the monarch as the “supreme head” of the Church of England was as much a theological development as it was a political development. Thus, Anglican history and theology cannot be understood without paying close attention to the history and theology of monarchy.This is I agree central to understanding alot of the development of Anglican theology from early on, the belief in One God, One Country, One King, One Faith that defined the people and unified them. I wonder though if this is actually when Anglicanism now struggles because we no longer have "One Country or One King" though we could at least argue we have one King in Jesus. I wonder with the division of One country or at least one motherland if it hasn't also caused a divionsion in the understanding of our belief in One God and One faith.
