English Dissenters
English Dissenters
were Christians who separated from the
Church of England
in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Dissenters
opposed state interference in religious matters
, and founded their own churches,
educational establishments
, and communities; some emigrated to the
New World
. They originally agitated for a wide-reaching
Protestant Reformation
of the
Established Church
, and triumphed briefly under
Oliver Cromwell
.
