I deleted a reference to the Episcopalian church, a U.S. offshoot of the Church of England, as confusingly anachronistic.I though a link to the text might be useful. Wetman 03:13, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Separation of Church and State

Separation of Church and State in the UK? Since when? JackyR 13:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

An improvement. But how relevant are the US's (centuries later) actions to the article "Act of Supremacy"? Feels to me like the relevance is the other way round. I suggest:

1. pull the info out of this article completely
2. make sure it is represented at some appropriate art. on US
3. if US article is makes strong ref to Act of Supremacy, then add link to it as "See also" on this article.

Sound OK? JackyR 15:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

My personal approach to Wiki-editing is to be a modifier and not a bold deleter of questionable material. But I can understand that this section actually is not very relevant to the Act of Supremacy and might appear better in Freedom of Religion or Separation of Church and State, should anyone be able to find a place for it there.

Thanks for those articles. Neither seems to rely at all on "Act of Supremacy", so I have simply replaced the specific US ref with links to these articles, which are themselves broad and well-linked. JackyR 15:58, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, jolly good. That's a nice way to handle it. :-) JackyR 17:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, it was your pointing out of the oddity in the first place that led to our collaboration. Thanks to you too! Dabbler 18:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Act of Supremacy 1559

Do we really need two articles about the 1559 Act? Might be better to move the Act of Supremacy 1559 article over here, so everything is in one place, unless there is a good reason not to. Richard75 21:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fall-out from this Act

Does anyone have a reliable number for the executions that took place as a result of this Act? Since refusal to swear to it was considered treason, it was a capital crime. Grandma Roses (talk) 11:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
