The Anglish Church: A brief Guide

Hm.

So wait, was there ever a formal mutual excommunication like with the Orthodox in 1054?

Possibly at some point but the church just never established itself. Any formal excommunication might've happened significantly after the fact.

In the TL I wrote. the PoD was around Augustine not getting patronage in Kent.

I could probably go full on Chaos Timeline with this one and just build an entire world from 500AD onwards.

@Timaeus I don't know if there would've been, giving it some more thought. Given the geographical isolation of the Anglish church it might not have seamed as much of a threat to the Catholic church.

Perhaps when it came to the age of exploration at the request of one of the Catholic powers (which I figured was mostly France and Spain or a derivative thereof? It'd probably involve penitent missionaries anyway.

What about the Green Man/Sheela Na-Gig/etc motifs? Still room for some creepy church art and folk traditions?
 
Considering most TTL altars are in the village/town squares I'd be surprised if it didn't happen. Look at all the Green Men on old churches OTL!

:D tbh this was initially a "What if Christianity was to Paganism what Buddhism is to Shinto" vibe. The churches & alters look like a grumpy compromise between @BrotherSideways and @KingCrawa :)

Not sure if I can justify altars being at points of natural beauty rather than practical locations but you never know, 1400 years is a long time.

BTW Sideways. Thinking about it, Glastonbury is a shit site for a city*, floods wise. Expect much dutch engineering around there, probably.

*So is Durham,for a capital, at least. No Alex, your fists

The really sad thing is a Broking Crawways compromise would probably be surprisingly cheerful until the killing started... And probably more cheerful afterwards.

I imagine a lot of sites of local beauty could have saint stories attached, with all those Canonised Monarchs. So... I guess it would make sense
 
i imagine that a few ancient shrines would have been destroyed durring some civil war with catholics n the like

The catholic church didnt really establish itself in the country. So maybe a few but I dont know if a civil war between The Anglish and Catholic churches
