Anglican/Episcopalian
- Founded by Queen Elizabeth
- The born again salvation plan of Jesus Christ is no longer taught or practiced
The Anglican/Episcopalian denomination was founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1553.
By the mid 17th century the Church of England (and the Episcopal churches in Ireland and in England's American colonies) came to be seen as having a distinct Christian tradition with theologies, structures and forms of worship, representing a middle ground, or via media, between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Unique to Anglicanism is the Book of Common Prayer, the collection of services that worshipers in most Anglican churches have used for centuries. The Anglican/Episcopalian doctrine did not originate from a person as with Martin Luther nor summed up in a confession of faith, but rely on their prayer books. In type of worship, the Anglicans are very similar to the other Protestant denominations in style. (36. "Anglicanism". Catholic Encyclopedia, The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church by F. L.

Bernard (Chapter 7, “The Reformation of Great Britain” pgs. 137-159)
The born again salvation plan of Jesus Christ is no longer taught or practiced
The Anglican/Episcopalian denomination does not follow the born again doctrine of Jesus Christ, nor does it follow the example of the first church started by the Apostles.
