Michelle Liu Evangelical Reformers and Magisterial Reform in England
 * Ulrich Zwingli- reformed movement more radical than Luther’s
 * Accepted 2 sacraments: disagreed with Luther over the meaning of the Lord’s Supper
 *  Luther: real presence of Jesus coexisted with bread and wine (consubstantiation)
 *  Zwingli: illogical- Jesus was in heaven at right hand of the Father, could not be present in body/blood during services= sacrament is symbolic
 * Anabaptists- membership in Christian community was adult choice= adult baptism
 * Take Bible more literally
 * Practiced adult baptism, total separation of church and state
 * Henry VIII- no male heir, divorce not granted by Pope Clement VII
 * Fallen in love with Anne Boleyn à Parliament declared Henry head of Catholic Church in England= Act of Supremacy
 * Act of Succession- legitimated offspring of Henry and Anne
 * Thomas Cromwell- Henry confiscated lands of church
 * Six Articles- Parliament confirmed distinctive Catholic practices
 * Move toward Zwinglism- Book of Common Prayer, Act of Uniformity= simpler interpretation of worship
 * Mary I and Philip II- persecution of Protestants= “Bloody Mary”
 * Elizabeth I- Elizabethan Settlement à politique- placed political unity above conformity to religious dogma
 * Never married
 * New Book of Common Prayer- satisfy all interpretations= Thirty- Nine Articles
 * Executed Mary of Scotland for plotting against her
