Document Summary
The church of england found itself in transition. Even as james worked to instill a moderate form of episcopalianism, other forces in england continued to agitate for more calvinist reforms: rise of the calvinists. In the 1640s, it seemed as though the calvinists might gain control of much of the church of. The english parliament began to pass more and more laws not just tolerating calvinism. Even tilting anglicanism in the direction of presbyterianism: english civil wars. All of this came to a climax alongside the political explosion that was the english civil wars. In 1649, stuart king charles i was executed by parliamentary revolutionaries. This led to the commonwealth and protectorate periods. This is when the episcopal anglicanism suffered: rise of the puritans. Yet the institutional calvinists within the church of england weren"t really in control after the death of the king.
