English Dissenters were English Christians who separated from the Church of England. They opposed State interference in religious matters, and founded their own communities in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Having hoped for a more Protestant Reformation in the Church of England, many individuals were disappointed that political decisions were made by the monarchs in order to control the Established Church. The Dissenters triumphed for a time under Oliver Cromwell. King James I had said "No bishop, no king"; Cromwell made good on that, abolishing both.

  • English Dissenters were English Christians who separated from the Church of England. They opposed State interference in religious matters, and founded their own communities in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Having hoped for a more Protestant Reformation in the Church of England, many individuals were disappointed that political decisions were made by the monarchs in order to control the Established Church. The Dissenters triumphed for a time under Oliver Cromwell. King James I had said "No bishop, no king"; Cromwell made good on that, abolishing both. After the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 the episcopacy was reinstalled and the rights of the Dissenters were limited. The Act of Uniformity of 1662 required Anglican ordination for all ministers. Many clergymen instead withdrew from the state church, the Church of England. These Dissenters were also known as Nonconformists, though originally this term referred to refusal to use certain vestments and ceremonies of the Church of England, rather than separation from it.
