1509 And All That?
I note that a minor public school is advertising for a Chaplain to "continue the school's five-hundred-year-old Anglican tradition". Well, there was no word "Anglican" until the nineteenth century. And there was no Church of England in 1509. But that was the year of the accession of Henry VIII. Is it from that that any "Anglican tradition" is now dated? I only ask.
