| - Anglicans, hailing from the planet Anglica, traditionally date their church back at least to its first Archbishop, Saint Augustine the Bewildered of Canterbury, in the 6th century and even centuries earlier to the Roman police action. St. Augustine was known to grow some superior marijuana, which bolstered his reputation as a highly spiritual man. Frequently, he was found wandering the streets of Canterbury, muttering about something being "heavy","cosmic" or "far out." While Anglicans acknowledge that the schism from papal authority under Henry VIII of England led to the Church of England existing as a separate entity, they also stress its continuity with the pre-Reformation Church of England. Drug use, meditation, and hippie clothes continued to be flaunted in the face of the Roman Catholic Holy See, and most English congregants took to insulting Catholics and stealing their eggs. Contrary to popular belief, the British monarch is not the constitutional "Head" of the Church of England and it is incorrect to refer to the monarch as such. Still, the prayer books of several countries maintain prayers and rituals for "Our Sovereign Lady Elizabeth," and the versicle at Morning Prayer "O Lord save the Queen money on her next shopping trip," which in former United States prayer books, for example, was altered to "O Lord save the mooses." The twin focii of Anglican worship are tea and Quiche. Tea pervades all levels of Anglican life. Babies are baptised in it, and blessed tea is drunk at Communion with a sacred rich tea biscuit. The current authorised version of the Bible, the Bumper Fun Pop-Up King James Bible, replaces all references to any form of liquid with tea. Thus, in Genesis, God floods the earth with tea; in Judges, Sampson finds a dead lion full of tea; and at the wedding at Cana Jesus turns Earl Grey into Darjeeling. Quiche is a blessed egg flan, which may contain other items (including but not limited to bacon, broccoli and tomato). No Anglican event can occur without Quiche being present; if it's not present, the event ceases to be religious and simply turns into a gathering of people who have a deep suspicion of any sort of change. Anglicans outside England often will not include the Quiche as a part of their worship, a fact which is explained away in England by the liturgy, "My goodness, aren't those foreigners strange? I mean, where's the quiche?", to which the response is "Bless the foreigners, for they are strange and know not of quiche".
