Abstract

The paragraph should give a three to five sentence abstract about your entire London HUA experience including 1) a summary of the aims of your project, 2) your prior experience with humanities and arts courses and disciplines, and 3) your major takeaways from the experience. This can and should be very similar to the paragraph you use to summarize this milestone on your Profile Page. It should contain your main Objective, so be sure to clearly state a one-sentence statement that summarizes your main objective for this milestone such as "a comparison of the text of Medieval English choral music to that of the Baroque" or it may be a question such as "to what extent did religion influence Christopher Wren's sense of design?"

Introduction


I suggest you save this section for last. Describe the essence of this project. Cover what the project is and who cares in the first two sentences. Then cover what others have done like it, how your project is different. Discuss the extent to which your strategy for completing this project was new to you, or an extension of previous HUA experiences.

As you continue to think about your project milestones, reread the "Goals" narrative on defining project milestones from the HU2900 syllabus. Remember: the idea is to have equip your milestone with a really solid background and then some sort of "thing that you do". You'll need to add in some narrative to describe why you did the "thing that you did", which you'd probably want to do anyway. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade by ensuring that your project milestone work reflects careful, considerate, and comprehensive thought and effort in terms of your background review, and insightful, cumulative, and methodical approaches toward the creative components of your project milestone deliverables.

PLEASE NOTE: this milestone template has only a few sections as examples, but your actual milestone should have many relevant sections and subsections. Please start to block out and complete those sections asking yourself "who, what, when, where, and why".

Remember, as you move toward your creative deliverable, you're going to want/need a solid background that supports your case, so you want it to paint a clear and thorough picture of what's going on, so that you can easily dissect your creative component and say "This thing I did is rooted in this aspect of my background research".

Section 1: Background


Now you're on your own! Your milestone must include a thorough and detailed background section with detailed subsections; if additional articles are required to be referenced in this background section, create those as well and link to them (the creation of all pages is tracked by the wiki site and attributed to your username). Remember to use rich multimedia whenever possible. Consult the Help page as needed! Remember, if you don't see an article on this site that is an integral part of your project, create it! Your entire page-creating/page-editing history factors into your overall grade.

The English Reformation


Overview

The English Reformation refers to the time period and course of events that caused England to break away from the "Catholic Church" and form the Anglican "Church of England". This change was driven starting with Henry VIII, and continued to be driven by later English monarchs. This was also coupled with a desire of the English people for reform because of the corrupt state of the Catholic Church at the time.[1] This time period and the aftermath can be characterized by both high Catholic-Protestant tension and violence. The following is a brief history of the English Reformation to provide context for John Tillotson's life as a preacher in post reformation England.

Origins with Henry VIII (English Reformation)

When Martin Luther dispatched his 95 thesis in Germany during 1517 Henry VIII, the English Monarch at the time, refuted the anti-catholic doctrine.[2] In the year 1521 Henry VIII published a work, in conjunction with Thomas More, titled "Assertio Septem Sacramentorum" (Defense of the Seven Sacraments) refuting Luther's teaching.[3] In this work Henry VIII defended transubstantiation, the real presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, as well as masses for the dead. The secondary motive for creating this work was also to promote himself in England as well as abroad.[4] Henry VIII would later be awarded the title "Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X.[5] At this point it would seem impossible that Henry VIII would later become the most influential person in leading England into the reformation, but that is exactly what would transpire.

At this time religious unrest had already begun to take hold in England as many believed the Catholic Church to have corrupt flaws.[6][7] Later Henry VIII's wife, Catherine of Aragon, was unable to produce a male heir to the throne, and this began to trouble the king greatly.[8] The king came to believe that God was purposely not giving him a son in accordance with the Bible [9] in the book of Leviticus 20:21 it says "If a man marries his brother's wife it is an act of impurity; he has dishonored his brother. They will be childless." Catherine had previously been married to Henry VIII's brother and for this reason Henry believed he was childless, and that he needed to seek a papal annulment from Pope Clement VII.[10] However due to the Sacking of Rome Clement was unable to comply with Henry's request.[11] At this time Henry had also developed an interest in having Anne Boleyn replace Catherine as his queen.[12] This desire for an heir eventually led Henry to take matters into his own hands by convincing Parliament to create the Church of England during the years from 1534-1539, officially separating England from the Catholic Church.[13] Henry VIII a man once praised by the Pope for his devotion had now severed England's ties to the papacy.

Edward VI (Protestant Reformation)

Despite all the trouble Henry VIII went through Anne Boleyn would also not be the one to produce Henry's heir.[14] His third wife Jane Seymour would produce his heir Edward VI.[15] Henry VIII would die in January 1547 leaving his young son Edward to take up his throne at the age on 9.[16] Unlike his father's rule which had started the reformation as a result of political circumstance Edward would continue the English Reformation in a Protestant manner. This distinctive change to a Protestant Church of England caused a great deal of civil unrest due to rebellions during Edward's short reign.[17]

Life of John Tillotson


Early Life

John Tillotson was born in Sowerby, Yorkshire during 1630. [18][19] However very little is known about his early childhood other than the fact that his father was a Puritan clothier. The next commonly acknowledged event in Tillotson's life is his studies at Clare Hall, Cambridge where he would become a fellow and graduate in 1651.[20]

Early Religious Career

Tillotson was ordained into the Church of England in 1661.[21] Later in 1664 he became a preacher at St. Lawrence Jewry where he would gain notice for his talents giving sermons.[22]
