## Description

> "*Anglicanism describes itself as being a "via media", or middle way, between Evangelical Protestantism and the Catholic Church. Following the Event, the Anglican Church in Canada refused to participate in the Evangelical Convention called by the churches in the Deep South, and it has since become recognized as a separate faith unto itself. The highest authority in Anglicanism is the Archbishop of New Canterbury.*"

## History

Anglicanism followers lean heavily on older Christian traditions and a sense of ritual more in line with Catholicism that with Evangelical Protestantism. After officially leaving the Evangelical Convention, Anglicanism slowly but surly became the prominent religion of south eastern Canada, overtaking the United Church, the largest pre-event Canadian religion. Despite the United Church being a newer religion Anglicanism was adapted by many tribes who felt that the United Church's progressive views on many topics were incompatible with their way of life. The Kingdoms that have formed from those tribes now view the United Church as a threat to Canadian unity. Anglicanism is most prevalent in Ontario and the Maritimes (though New Brunswick is "shared" with Occultists), as well as a large minority within Hudsonia.

## Legends

It is said, that across the sea, in the far off lands of the Queen, that Anglicans still live and practice their faith in England and Wales. Anglicans look on in confusion, at the Britons talking about True Canterbury, and The Murdered Archbishop, Martyred Ridley, Reforming Cranmer, and Conquering Cromwell, some of the myriad of strange saints that these Old Anglican venerate Highest of all, these saints, is the one who these Anglicans loyally serve and march under with a tow row, The Queen.

## Holy Sites

* **Toronto**
* **Ottawa**
* **Meduxnekeag**
* **Aucpaque**
* **Chebucto**

As of 2666, all five holy sites are held by members of the High Church. However, this optimal situation is threatened by the growing expansion of the Occultist New English tribes to the south.

Anglican characters are divided in three banches - "High Church", "Broad Church" and "Low Church" - represented by traits. Each branch represents how organized and hierarchical they want the church to be. "High Church" characters are focused in ritual, formality and authority, Catholics except for not following the Pope, and such they recieve +5 opinion towards Catholics and Ursulines and +2 Learning. "Low Church" resemble other traditional Protestants, giving +5 opinion towards Non-Conformists and Anabaptists and +2 Diplomacy. While the "Broad Church" is a middle point between both, giving a compromise of +5 vassal opinion and +1 Diplomacy and Learning. The two extremes dislike all other opinions by -10 opinion while Broad Church supporters only dislike the other options by -5 opinion.
