England’s Nonconformist and Separatist movements are central to this narrative, and their influence continues to shape the broader Christian tradition. By examining these movements within the broader context of Christian history, we can understand how they altered doctrine, influenced Western Christianity, and intensified the enduring division between Roman Catholicism and emerging Protestant groups. The series follows a chronological timeline, beginning in early 16th-century Germany with Martin Luther’s excommunication and concluding a century later on England’s southern coast. The initial 12-episode series highlights the contributions of Beza, Vermigli, Calvin, Tyndale, Knox, and Robert Browne, who is often called the father of Congregationalism. The series does not seek to persuade listeners or promote any specific belief system.

The church was built in 1493 as a chapel dedicated to Saint Barbara . The originally Roman Catholic hospital chapel was used by the residents of the abbey from 1568 to 1571 and was rented to English merchants from 1579 to 1589. The chapel was subsequently assigned to the Reformed Church in 1589 and in 1799 it became a Roman Catholic church again. In 1845 the building was sold to the Christian Separated Churches and in 1936 it was purchased by the Christian Reformed Churches. Music • My Sweetest Lesbia , composer: Thomas Campion, performed by Andreas Scholl. The poem, \"My Sweetest Lesbia\", is sometimes described as a translation. Its inspiration is the Latin poet Catullus's poem, Carmen V. The theme of the poem is; We must live now, because we don't have forever. Thomas Campion belongs to that fascinating tradition of medically-trained poets. He was a poet, composer, musical and literary theorist, and physician. Born in London in 1567, left Cambridge without a degree, briefly studied law, but ultimately graduated from the University of Caen with an MD. After practising medicine in London he later returned to the continent as a gentleman-soldier. He is believed to have died of the plague in London in 1620. © 20 26 The Rise of the Protestants., Author, Shaughan Holt. \" All rights reserved.
