text: If you think that the Thirty-nine Articles have been consigned to the dustbin of history, think again. For the vast majority of Anglicans they are still very much the founding principles of their form of Christianity. Anglo-Catholics were always a minority in the C of E and are now, thanks to modern developments in the C of E, a spent force within that body.
  Despite the vestments, incense and liturgy, Anglicanism is as Protestant as Lutheranism. The British Monarch is Head of the C of E and in the Coronation Oath swears among other things "... to maintain the Protestant reformed religion as established by law."
