The '''Church of England''' (the mother church of the Anglican Church) is the English national church. The Church traces its history in [[England]] back to at least the fourth century A.D. It contains High Church elements (similar in ritual to the Roman Catholics), Low Church elements (similar to Methodists), and a Broad Church middle.  It is part of the worldwide [[Anglican Communion]].  Under King [[Henry VIII]] England broke with Rome and reasserted its independence in questions of religion.
