When Henry VIII split from the Church of England, it became largely an independent Catholic Church. After the struggles that followed, it settled on the Elizabethan settlement, a mixture of Roman, Lutheran and Calvinist elements, with an Episcopal structure. It became seen as another Protestant faith.

But how differently could it have been if pushed. Could we have Presbyterian or Congregational structures with the right PODs? In terms of theology, a more Catholic doctrine seems easy to do, but what about the other way? How radical could we go? Could we see a fully Lutheran church? How about one that became Quaker or Unitarian Universalist and syncretic?
