Continuity of the English Church

An Englishman has recently published a book embodying a review of attitudes of various historians toward the English Reformation. The author himself has the opinion, as many Anglicans now have, that the English of to-day is the same church that once was in fellowship with Rome, and is not the product of the Reformation. It seems as if many English ecclesiastics dislike the word “Protestant” in the title “Protestant Episcopal.” The historians Knight, Yonge, Freeman, and Stubbs accept the “continuity” of the English church.
