In this episode, we follow the turbulent path of the English Reformation—beginning with Henry VIII’s break from Rome, shaped as much by politics and marriages as by theology. We trace Thomas Cranmer’s complex journey from cautious scholar to reforming archbishop to courageous martyr, and see how figures like Ridley and Latimer helped steer England toward a Protestant identity that would outlast kings, queens, and persecution. Their stories reveal how the Church of England emerged through a mix of conviction, compromise, and unexpected courage. Let us know in the comments!
