Umm, these people are not officially classified as saints by the Anglican Church. The only post-Reformation canonization was King Charles I of England. Delete?Homagetocatalonia 03:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

All the saints listed in Anglican prayerbooks from 0-1660 A.D. are still considered 'saints by the Anglican Communion. A saint is a person who is a heavenly example of what a true follower of Christ shoulb be like. Please everyone, read up more on your Church's history and doctrines before you write anything.--Lord Balin 04:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this is a very important article. More work needs to be done it.

I'm a bit confused on this point. The articles claims that Charles I has been canonized by the Anglican church; but the wikipedia page on Charles I only mentioned that he is regarded as a martyr. I glanced through the source used by this article; it doesn't appear to mention that Charles I is a cannonized Saint. Is there corroboration somewhere? Parables 20:43, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Please excuse me for making the changes without explaining myself. I actually did write a blurb down here about why I made the edit I did, and I'm not sure why it's now missing...

If you check through the List of Anglican Church Calendars, you will find that many of them list Charles I as a martyr (not as a saint) and many do not include him at all. The article Calendar of saints (Church of England) specifies: "The only person canonised in any sense by the Church of England since the English Reformation is St Charles the Martyr (King Charles I), although he is not widely recognised by Anglicans as a saint outside the Society of King Charles the Martyr." It would seem that the view that Charles is a saint is a minority opninion. Either way, in order to keep a neutral POV, this article must at least mention that the canonization is not universally recognized in the Anglican Communion. Therefore I am going to reinstate my insertion. Parables (talk) 04:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
