‘The Whore of Babylon’: How Corrupt Was the English Church on the Eve of the Reformation?

Saturday 6 October 2018, 1.00PM to 4.00pm

Enrol and pay online

Was the sixteenth century, English Church corrupt and deeply unpopular: too many parish clergy absentee and worldly, monks and nuns lascivious and ignorant, bishops more concerned with profit than with prayer? If so, the rapid success of Henry VIII’s Reformation seems inevitable. However this orthodoxy has now been challenged by an alternative vision of a vibrant, well-led and popular Church at the focus of the local community. This day course will examine the debate and attempt a conclusion.
