        Anglicanism: Anglicanism was founded in 1534 by King Henry VII in England. Unlike Luther and Calvin, Henry was not a religious reformer. He decided to found it since he did not want to share his power or kingdoms wealth with the Church. Henry wanted to get married and have a son so he could be the heir but once his wife Anne Boleyn had failed to make a son he wanted a divorce but the Church would not let him so that is when he decided to found Anglicanism.
        
        Catholics and Anglicanism both believed that baptism began a Christian life. Henry's churches were painted white and on a plain white wall were the Ten Commandments. Henry had a daughter named Queen Elizabeth I, she believed that people shouldn't be forced to stay in one Anglicanism. People could worship as they like as long as they obeyed England's laws.
