Saints in Anglicanism
Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAI : Saints in Anglicanism
The provinces of the Anglican Communion commemorate many of the same saints as those in the Roman Catholic calendar of saints, often on the same days. There are several people commemorated in the modern Anglican calendars who were opposed to the reformation of the English Church. Of particular noteare John Fisher and Thomas More, executed by Henry VIII and Elizabeth I respectively. (correction: Both More and Fisher were executed during the reign of Henry VIII) These two were later canonised by Pope Pius XI, and their presence in Anglican calendars demonstrates the inclusive breadth of English faith. Anglican Churches also commemorate various famous (often post-Reformation and/or English) Christians. English and local saints are often emphasized, and there are differences between the provinces' calendars. The only saint canonised by the Church of England after its secession from Rome is St. Charles the Martyr (see Society of King Charles the Martyr).
