The Prayer Book - Lessons from the Reformation: Cranmer (Warning this is hardcore stuff that may need you to think deeply but it will change your life)

Whilst he may look academic and stuffy the guy on your left is a man who changed the world. Who is he? He is Thomas Cranmer the author of the anglican prayer book (a little book all anglican/church of England churches use to run church).

Writing a little book on how to do church doesn't sound like much but this little book changed the way church was done in England, Europe and even Australia (later on though). Yet despite this claim to fame Cranmer was martyred for Jesus. In England under the reign of Queen Mary he was burnt alive. So what is the story of this Jesus freak?

Cranmer was the archbishop Canterbury (basically the head bishop of England) under King Henry VIII (he is the guy who either divorced or beheaded most of his wives).
