39 Articles or The Articles of Faith

[Paidiske]

I think it was a gradual evolution as the various colonies etc. became more autonomous in a variety of ways. In Australia, for example, the church was originally (as for all British subjects outside Britain) under the oversight of the Bishop of London; but in 1814 we came under the Bishop of Calcutta. In 1836 we became the diocese of Australia, but we weren't completely autonomous from England until 1962.

The altered version of the Articles is sometimes called the Articles of Religion of 1801.
