Marking the 450th anniversary of the Elizabethan Settlement – a
settlement which is often considered to constitute the end of the
English Reformation as well as the beginning of the English
Church – the symposium seeks to highlight the reciprocal
relationship between the history of the Reformation in Germany and
England.
As the first academic conference of this kind, scholars from Great
Britain, Ireland, the United States and Germany will examine the events
in the Holy Roman Empire and England side-by-side with an eye to their
interdependence.
Aspects of this theme that will be considered include the ways in
which knowledge of and influence from the Reformation in the Empire
reached England, the theological and liturgical contributions, the
political dimension of Reformation exchanges and the manner in which
the Reformation was consolidated on the one side by the Peace of
Augsburg and on the other by the Elizabethan Settlement. The symposium
will conclude with a look at the current relationship between German
Protestantism and the Church of England.
