The Church of England is Anglican, a Protestant Christian denomination. It separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century during the English Reformation, and retains some traditions inherited from medieval Catholicism. Indeed, its beliefs and practices, and those of the broader Anglican Communion, are often said to be the middle ground between those of the Roman Catholic Church and those of other Protestant churches.
