Authority: Anglican based their beliefs on the Bible. However, the English monarch, as head of the Church, was the main interpreter if the Bible's meaning. The highest -ranking bishop in England, the Archbishop of Canterbury, helped the monarch with this task.
Rituals and Worship: Anglican services were similar to both Roman Catholic and Lutheran services. Two versions of the Anglican Church services developed. The high Church service was much like the Catholic mass, and very formal. Anglican services were held in former Catholic Church buildings.
