November 24 edit

The text has: November 24 – English Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell bans Anglicans. This seems to refer to a declaration that forbids preaching or administering communion by clergy who have been previously expelled from their positions. At a minimum, the wording here is odd, since the official Church of England at the time was the one under Cromwell's control, and the people involved were all "Anglicans". And "banned" seems to mean "banned from ecclesiastical roles" rather than something applying to the whole population like the Act of Uniformity. --Amble (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
