CofE (Church of England)

The Church of England (CofE) is the established Christian church in England, blending Catholic and Protestant traditions. It originated during the 16th-century Reformation, breaking from the Roman Catholic Church under King Henry VIII. The CofE emphasizes worship through its liturgies, values community engagement, and upholds doctrines rooted in the Bible and Christian teachings. It has a hierarchical structure with bishops, priests, and deacons, and its doctrines are guided by the Book of Common Prayer. As a state church, it plays a significant role in national life, while also serving local communities through churches and charitable activities.
