What objections did Puritans have to the Anglican Church? How did the position of the separatist minority differ from the non-separatist majority?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Puritans believed that the Anglican Church had not gone far enough in its rejection of Roman Catholicism.
2. They objected to what they saw as the church's bureaucratic hierarchy, ornate rituals, and failure to enforce strict observance of the Christian Sabbath each Sunday.
3. They wanted to replace Anglican services with the stark simplicity of Calvinist worship.
4. They wanted to limit church membership to the devout, and they insisted that the church should be independent from the state.
5. Separatists believed that they had to completely break with the Anglican Church, which they saw as irredeemably corrupt. Most Puritans, however, believed that the Anglican Church could be reformed from within.
