[edit] Prologue

This article previously included the inaccurate statement that Professor MacCulloch was never ordained. He most certainly was ordained a deacon in the Church of England. He has never been ordained priest. I have never seen him in clerical dress and as far as I am aware he is not usually styled "reverend", although he is entitled to use the prefix should he wish to. It is important to mention his ordination and his reasons for not going ahead with ordination to the priesthood. I believe this is discussed in the foreword to Henry VIII and the English Reformation (Basingstoke 1993); otherwise in another work from that period.
