The Church of England Cleared from the Charge of Schism: Upon Testimonies of Councils and Fathers of the First Six Centuries

The Church of England Cleared from the Charge of Schism, published in 1846 by T. W. Allies, is a theological treatise that defends the Church of England against accusations of schism following its separation from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation. Allies examines historical councils and writings from the first six centuries to argue for the legitimacy of the Anglican position within Christian unity. The work reflects Allies' struggle as a priest to reconcile his faith with the historical context of the Reformation and emphasizes the importance of historical testimony in understanding ecclesiastical identity.
