Anglicanism in the Time of Reformation 

The 16th and 17th centuries were a formative period in the life of the Church of England, as the English Reformation gave shape to the worship, theology, and music of the Anglican tradition. Over the course of three weeks, we will consider the people and works through which the Anglican tradition took shape. Join us for a hearty lunch at 12:45 p.m., followed by a presentation from 1 to 2 p.m.
